Malachi 3:1-7a When the Lord Comes Near He Humbles His People

Be careful what you ask for. That was what God told his people through Malachi. They wanted the Messiah to come and bring justice thinking they were the good people. God reminds them, and us, that only he is good. We are all sinners who need to be purified and cleansed from our sins. Thankfully Jesus didn't come in justice but to win salvation. God's soap is his blood shed for us on the cross. It cleanses us from all sin.
