MALACHI DEMANDS HONESTY.
TOWARD GOD
LESSON TEXT Malachi 3:7-18.
GOLDEN TEXT Bring ye all the
tithes into the storehouse, that there may
be meat in mine house, and prove me
how herewith, saith the Lord of hosts,
if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing,
that there shall not be room enough to
receive it. Malachi 3:10.
Spiritually sick and desperately
so was Israel in the days of Mal
achi. The nation had been released
from captivity in Babylon and had
been back in their own land for
almost a century. The outburst of
religious enthusiasm which charac
terized their return had resulted in
the rebuilding of the temple (Ezra
1:1-4). In this they were encour
aged by Haggai, as we recall from
our lesson of last Sunday. They had
later been led by Nehemiah in re
newed interest In spiritual things
and in . the rebuilding of the city
wall, but now again they had turned
away from God. Malachi came
with what one might call God's last
word before judgment upon their
sins. The lesson centers around
tour words. .
I. Apostasy,
"Ye have turned aside" (v. 7,
R, V.). This was God's complaint
against His people. In spite of His
blessings upon them, they had inter
married with the heathen, they had
dealt treacherously with their breth
, ren, and had neglected to worship
God. What was even worse, they
felt no conviction about their sin
and denied that they owed God any
thing, not even the debt of common
gratitude.
Read the Insolent, self-confident
questions and assertions ' of the
people in verses 7, 8, ; 13 and 14.
Think how perfectly they fit the atti
tude of thousands of unbelievers and
backslidden Christians in our day.
One might almost think that Mal
achi were reading the secret
thoughts of our own people, and pos
sibly of our own hearts.
II. Robbery.
Illness commonly has Its center of
Infection, whether It be physical or
spiritual sickness. Malachi struck
at a very vital point when he re
vealed that the heart of Israel's dif
ficulty was dishonesty toward God.
. That dishonesty reflected itself in
spiritual things, but, since Malachi
was talking to an arguing genera
tion (just like ours); he gave them
a concrete illustration of their deceit
they had withheld from God the
tithes and offerings.
Men who would never cheat the
telephone company out of a nickel
will rob God consistently Sunday
after Sunday by sanctimoniously
slipping a thin dime into the collec
tion plate. If that is all a man can
and should give, God will bless it
and multiply it for His glory. But
certainly it does not befit one who
lives in luxury to give God's work
the smallest piece of change which
he can decently slip Into the plate.
Tithing may be said to be an Old
Testament principle. Doubtless It
is also true that the principle of New
Testament Christianity is that all
we have belongs to God, but often
the one who hides behind that fact
does not give as much as the people
of Old Testament times. Is that
honest?
III. Judgment.
God is love, but that does not
mean that His patience is without
limit nor that He will forever with
hold judgment. He says, through
Malachi (v. 9), "Ye are cursed with
curse." The blessing has been
withheld (v. 10). The devourer is
In the land (v. 11). He promised
them release and blessing if they
repented and returned to the right
way, which obviously means that
their failure to do so would bring
judgment We know that Israel
despised God's warning and to this
day is paying for its sia Will
America be wise enough to heed
God's call?
IV. Blessing.
So often the loving God bad to
apeak through His prophets of im
pending Judgment on sin, but how
gracious He is in that He always
holds out the promise of blessing for
repentance and obedience.
Look st the precious promise In
verse 10. Thousands of Christians
join the writer in saying. "That is
true in A. D. 1940 just as it was
in 400 D. C" Read verses II and
11 Note that our God is not only
a great God. but a good God.
Consider the blessings of spiritual
fellowship the certainty of victory
revealed in verses 18 and 17. One
marvels that Israel could resist such
a loving plea just as one wonders
also why men of our own day of
God's grace still resist His gracious
invitation.
A Helpful Heart
It is a fine thing to do kindly,
helpful deeds. It is one of the very
finest in the world. But there is
something finer than the helpful
hand; it is the helpful heart
: End Is Death
There is a way that seemeth right
unto a roan, but the end thereof are
the ways of death.
