In John 12:27-50, we have Jesus' final appeal to the world before spending his final days focused on his disciples. After explaining the meaning of his death, he also explained why so many did not believe in him. Then he summarized his teaching in his last words to the crowds, giving them one final opportunity to believe in him. (sermon notes)
While the people cynically questioned God’s justice and longed for his intervention, in Malachi 2:17-3:5, God told them he would be coming in judgment...
In answer to Daniel’s final question about the future, a messenger gave him a simple message we all need to hear.
After noting how little the people had accomplished, in Haggai 2:1-9 God told them to be strong because of his presence with them.
