Preparation and Promise.

Malachi opens his prediction concerning
the birth Of Christ by pointing out the
forerunner, John the Baptist. who pre-
pared the way for our Lord, the Mes
senger Of the Covenant" to commence
His ministry and to offer Himself as a
Savior Of the world, to come to His tenn
pie. The Messiah at His coming would
rebuke their sin and call them to Judg-
ment. John opened his ministry as did
our Lord, by calling upon men to reform
and put confidence in the good news OF
the the kingdom of God. The Christmas
lesson proclaims the birth Of Savior,
who offers pardon for our past sins and
purity for the present through the sacri-
fee of His blood for US. His gospel also
offers us the power Of the Holy Spirit to
our being made like Him. He also prom
Uses US q home with Him hereafter II We
repent and believe the glad ttdings that
the preparation of God ended and unto us

when, in accordance with the prophet
word, Jesus was born q babe In Bethle-
hem's manager. God can be depended
upon to keep His covenant with us, as He
has His word concerning the coming OF
Christ 50 that We reform s,;an we snasi EN-, en-,
not only save US from our sin. but purify
us a. q refiner's fire. The trials Of a
Christian life are for the purpose OF the
elimination Of evil from our life, SO that
ecy OF Malachi came true not only In ref
erence to Christ's birth, but also in pre-
dieting a separation into two classes-one
filled with peril and the other with great
promise. The sledsehammer blows Of the
prophet pointed out. in sentences that
penetrated their stOlid indifference, the
sin Of the world.
He analysed their sins and showed the
heed OF reform in the priests who had
become rituaIists. In the prophets who
had become formal In their preaching,
and In the people ,s VINO had robbed God.
ouse for their not paying their tenth.
In fact. 1t was a reason why they should
present their gifts and seek Gods bless
ing. The men who are in business for
God, who seek first His kingdom and
righteousness never fail. The man who
denies Gods ownership of his time and
talents, gain ana gold life and labor, is
the one who loses. What one shares
with God the Lord honors and increases.
There is that scattereth, and yet in

Of the birth Of our Lord. No other event

stirred heaven and earth, guiding. the wise
men to the manager where our Savior,
Christ the Lord, was born, whom they
worshiped. and when they had opened
their treasures they presented unto Him
gifts; gold and frankincense and myrrh -
The angel OF the Lord proclaimed the
glad tidings to the shepherds. who. under
the inspiring music Of the heavenly host
praising God and proclaiming peace on
earth, left their fiocks and went to wor-
ship Him whom all the nations of the
earth shall worship. The Babe of Beth
lehem's manager has changed the current
of civilization. reformed the nations OF
the earth, and controls today, through
His personality, people and power. the
destiny of all mankind. The greatest
pessimist will become an optimist when
he turns back the pages OF history and
realizes the power that Christ has exerted
in the worlds transformation. Malachi,
the last of the prophets. looked forward
to the coming of the Christ as the source
of encouragement to Judah. AS We study
the prophecy spoken centuries before the
advent of our Lord we ought to be
thrilled by the achievements of the Christ.
The age of the prophet was marked by
iniquity. indifference and irreverence. An
apparently rapid moral and spiritual de-
terioration had followed the religious
reformation and restoration of Ezra and
Nehemiah. The sacred ties OF marriage
were ignored by their divorce and mixed
marriages. Social distinctions had arisen
as q result Of the GENERALIZATION OF wealth
in the hands of a few, creating class OF
plutocrats and proletarians. Strife, hatred
and oppression caused a great division
between these two elements. The priest
hood had become corrupt. the temple des-
ecrated and the law of God ignored. Re
ligion had become formal AFFAIR. filled
with sham, shame and show. The bur-
den Of the word of the Lord came to
Israel by Malachi rebuking their sins
and encouraging their hopes by proclaim
ing the love Of God, the judgment that
announces the coming Messiah. and the
messenger that prepares the way for the
advent Of God.
