Malachi
"Have we not all one Father?"
Text: Malachi 2:10
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
There is much to be said when the term “children of Israel” was used frequently (in the book of Exodus). There were good reasons why this phrase was used frequently.
1. A strong sense of national identity.
2. A unifying sense of closeness.
3. A strong bond of oneness.
LOSS OF ONENESS
Sadly, this sense of oneness was lost to Israel. The nation had become two opposing kingdoms. They never came back together again.
“Have we not all one Father?
Has not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?”
Malachi 2:10
