Malachi’s people ask a dangerous question: “Where is the God of justice?”
God answers — not with an argument, but with an arrival.
If the holy God really comes near, who can endure it? Who can stand?
In Malachi 3, judgment is not withdrawn, but neither are God’s people consumed. Mercy comes first. Refinement follows. And hope takes a surprising shape — not optimism, not escape, but faithfulness in the face of mercy.
This sermon explores what real hope looks like when God does not go away.
