Message: “How Should You Respond When Christ is Cursed?” from Pastor Nathan Sundt

Malachi 1:1-5 1. A Messenger is a sign of mercy. -The progress of prophecy is a sign of salvation history. -Salvation history’s fulness arrives when the Great Prophet arrives. 2. God loves you. What has worn away their proper sense of Yahweh’s true love? -The up-and-down progress of a plan they know only by prophecy -The failures and “low tide” of human love (2:13-16). 3. God answers you. The comparison of the brothers, Jacob and Esau, shows two things about God’s free salvation. 4a. Nothing inside you made you “better to save.” (Rom. 9:6-16; Deut. 32:4; 2Chr. 19:7; Psa. 92:15) 4b. We are loved forever—simply from the heart of God. 5. We will feel loved when judgment vindicates us. Every story of every people and every person ends with a demonstration of total judgment or total substitution. God is glorified in our salvation through judgment.
