Sun of Righteousness
Malachi 4:2
But to you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth…


I. ILLUSTRATE THE COMPARISON OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO A SUN.

1. His unapproachable pre-eminence.

2. His benign influence.

3. His relation to the whole world.

II. DESCRIBE HIS RESTORATIVE OR REMEDIAL EFFICACY. In the world; in a country; in an individual.

III. CONSIDER THE PERSONS TO WHOM HIS EFFICACY IS CONFINED. Who are they? And why are they the sole recipients of the promised blessing? Consider Christ — as the centre of the spiritual world; as the source of light; as the source of heat; as the object of attraction.

(O. Brooks.)
