**************

 

The LORD’s rebuke in our text, Malachi – 3:5, reveals another side of the sins of Judah.  In addition to questioning the LORD’s love, compromising his worship, and defiling marriage in defiance of his union with them, they now “weary” the LORD in denying his justice.  Let’s look at the LORD’s clear response to the ridicule of his people.

      1.   The LORD’s Justice Ridiculed (vs. )

      2.   The LORD’s Swift Justice (vs. 3:1)

      3.   The LORD’s Thorough Justice (vss. 3:2-3a)

      4.   The LORD’s Satisfied Justice (vss. 3:3b-4)

      5.   The LORD’s Specific Justice (vs. 3:5)
