Joel and I read this portion of Scripture about Christ as part of our morning devotions:
"Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming." Says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like launderers' soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness."
Malachi 3:1-3
What a beautiful reminder that Jesus performed the perfect sacrifice on behalf of His people, so we are able to offer Him proper worship with hearts that He has purified.
