He is not a faraway God." -  Lisa   Welcome to Session 1 of The Marvel and Miracle of Advent by Christine Caine and Lisa Harper. This week, Lisa reminds us that wherever you are this Advent season, you are not invisible to God. That's the promise of Malachi and the promise of the entire Bible – he is with us!     Key Scriptures: Malachi 1:1–2, 2:17, 3:1 (the 400 years of silence)  Insight Insight God loves us, and that's part of his promise to us. This is shown through promises he's made and later fulfilled, such as the promise to send a messenger in Malachi 3:1. In your Bible studies, you've likely found that the Old Testament prophesies about events that come to fruition in the New Testament. So, in this case, who is the messenger we later see in the New Testament?     The abridged edition of the Expositor's Bible Commentary, available with Bible Gateway Plus, gives us this answer. It explains that, Malachi 3:1 "is quoted in the NT (Mt 11:10; Mk 1:2; Lk 7:27), all referring it to John the Baptist. Thus the one called "my messenger" is the forerunner of Christ, John the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth."  Continue your studies with Bible Gateway Plus to learn more about how, as prophesized in Malachi 3:1, "the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple."
