Lesson 61ResurrectionProphetic Pattern

Sun of Righteousness

Malachi prophesied that the 'sun of righteousness' would rise with healing in its rays for those who revere God's name.

Old Testament

Malachi 4:2

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

New Testament

Luke 1:78

because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

Why This Matters

Malachi prophesied that the 'sun of righteousness' would rise with healing in its rays for those who revere God's name. Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, echoed this imagery when he praised God for the 'rising sun' coming from heaven. In Jesus, the long night of waiting ended. The dawn of God's mercy broke over the horizon, bringing healing and hope to a world in darkness.

Reflection

Risen Jesus, fill me with resurrection hope. Through Sun of Righteousness, teach me to live in the light of Your victory.
