B2.8
Unit 2 • Lesson 8 • Old Testament

The Day of the Lord

Theme: Reckoning

Biblical Basis • Malachi 4:1-6

The Old Testament prophets were people who were called to deliver God’s message. One of these was the prophet Malachi, who spoke of the coming "Day of the Lord." By revealing the future, God not only let Malachi know about what would happen at the end of the time, God also let him know about coming of Jesus.

Additional Text: Matthew 17:1-13

Lesson Prayer

God of all hope, you have announced repeatedly through your prophets that there will be a day when we will all stand before you and have to account for our words and actions. Grant that, by faith, we would cling to Jesus and rely on his promises to take away all our sin. We give you thanks that you sent your Son to be our Savior and to grant us his holiness and new life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
