“The Great and Awesome Day of the Lord

“The Great and Awesome Day of the Lord” (Chapter 52)

GOSPEL CONNECTION

Through Malachi, God said, “Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare
the way before me” (Mal. 3:1). The messenger will prepare the way for the
day of God’s returning and living with his people. The New Testament tells
us that John the Baptist is this messenger who prepared the way for the Lord
Jesus, Immanuel (God with us). Jesus is the good news God’s people have been
promised since the very beginning! He is the Snake Crusher that was promised
to Eve. He is Abraham’s offspring bringing a blessing to all nations. He is the
Branch from David’s family tree, who rules as the forever King of the forever
kingdom.
God’s people didn’t know exactly what to look for when God would return
to live with his people. But if they paid attention to the Bible, they knew that
their coming Savior would be a teacher greater than Moses, a priest purer
than Aaron, and a king wiser than Solomon. They knew he would be born of a
virgin, preach good news to the poor, heal the sick, and then suffer and die for
his people’s sins. They also knew he would rise from the dead and someday
return to judge and save. The Bible was full of pictures to show them what their
coming Savior was like. And soon he would appear, not as a mighty king, but as
a helpless baby.
