The Book of Malachi, Part 1

Today we are starting a series which will take us through the book of Malachi, which in your Bibles is the last book in the Old Testament.

In this book God is dealing with a nation that is acting like a surly, pouting teenager who feels that God (Dad) is being unfair and not meeting their expectations.

Malachi is classed in the “minor prophets” because of the size of the book, but what he has to say is anything but minor. Some commentators have described the book of Malachi as “good news with a divine edge”.

“I have loved you,” says the LORD. “But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’
– Malachi 1:2
