They Shall Shine

"They shall be Mine," says the Lord of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him."
Malachi 3:17

They Shall Shine
God presents to us here the few faithful souls, humble and hidden, who were going to have the honor of welcoming His Son at His coming down to earth. They are His jewels; their names are enshrined in His book of remembrance (Mal. 3:16), and the Gospels bring some of them to our acquaintance: Zacharias and Elizabeth, Joseph and Mary, Simeon, and Anna. Are you in the little band of those today who fear the Lord, who speak one to another about Him, and who wait for His return?

Later on, during the Great Tribulation, there will be a remnant who fear the name of the Lord (Mal. 4:2; Rev. 12:17). For them the "Sun of righteousness" will arise. The power of darkness will come to an end, and the proud and the workers of wickedness will be consumed (Mal. 3:15; 4:1-2).

The Old Testament comes to an end with the word curse; thus ends the completely disappointing history of the first Adam (Mal. 4:6). Its miserable and irremediable condition, leading to ultimate and eternal woe, has been convincingly demonstrated. Are we personally persuaded of this in our own conscience? Then, from the first page of the New Testament, we are brought to know the name of the Second Man, Jesus, in whom God has found His pleasure, in whom we find salvation and blessing.

J. Koechlin
When He cometh, when He cometh to make up His jewels,All His jewels, precious jewels, His loved and His own:

Like the stars of the morning, His bright crown adorning,They shall shine in their beauty, bright gems for His crown.

William O. Cushing

The only true attitude for the Christian is that of dependence...


I am come from heaven, not that I should do My will, but the will of Him that has sent Me.
(John 6:38)

The only true attitude for the Christian is that of dependence. The moment we get off the ground of dependence on God we are sure to come to grief. This is true both individually...More

The Word for today

Are You Feeling Insecure? (3)

The Lordsaid to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth." '
Jeremiah 1:9 NIV


The people God calls usually start out feeling ill-equipped and insecure. Indeed, if you jumped and said, No problem, Lord, I can handle that,' He wouldn't call you at all. You say, but I've made so many...More
