A large part of the congregation at "Sexta Jovem" - a meeting for praise and teaching aimed at teenagers on a Friday night. In a sequence of Fridays looking at books of the OT, I was given Malachi, with the aim of introducing the book as a whole, before focussing on one passage. 2:17 - 3:5 took me to Mark 1 and Mark 11-13. If what Malachi said about Jesus and John the Baptist came true, and if what Jesus said about the fall of the temple came true, hadn't we better take heed of what they both say about the Final Day? Despite the tiredness of two days of teaching, the careful attention of a (very different!) audience and the strength that the Lord provides lifted my spirits for a good evening.
