Malachi 4:1-2: “‘Surely the day is coming; it will burn like
a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day
that is coming will set them on fire,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘Not a root or a
branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of
righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and
frolic like well-fed calves.’”
What a day that will be! What do you suppose the sun of
righteousness will look like? Or better yet, feel like? Those rays will heal
anything that ails any Christ-follower. We’ll be all done with arthritis and
paralysis and chronic back pain or headaches. No more depression or anxiety.
Just glorious, blessed sunshine.
And we’ll go out and frolic like calves in a sunny meadow.
Imagine, all of us dour Dutch Calvinists, jumping and kicking up our heels, and
rolling the grass. We’ll be so happy, we can’t contain it. We’ll feel so
healthy, we can’t help but run.
What a day! What an eternity, lived with God! What a
promise!
