MALACHI DEMANDS HONESTY
BEFORE GOD
Lesson Text: Mai. 3: 7-18
Golden Text: Bring ye all the tithe3
into the storehouse, that there
may be meat in mine house, and
prove me now herewith, saith
the Lord of hosts, 1 will not
open upon you the windows of
heaven and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not be
room enough to receive it.
Time
About the year 433 I>. C. or per
haps a few years sooner.
Place
Probably Jerusalem.
Historical
The man whom we study today,
Malachi, was the last of the minor
prophets. Of his early history we
know nothing.
The prophecies of Malachi, the
lust prophetic book of the Old Tes
tament. When it was written the
Jewish people were under a gover
nor instead of a king, and the tem
ple was rebuilt. It is very likely
that Nehemiah was the governor
during his second visit to Jerusa
lem. If this he true Malachi pro
phesied between the years, 430 and
425 L!. C. This was during the first
part of the l’ellopennesian war, and
was a contemporary of /Sophacles
Euripides and Heroditus.
Honest Giving
The first six verses of our text
today we learn just what honest giv
ing is. We are asked if we will rob
God. This answer is plain and sim
ple. By withholding tithes that are
due God. When do we give to the
Lord? Not till we have brought to
God's storehouse our tithes. What
we dilate above this is a gift. Oul
obligation is not satisfied till we
have paid our tithe.
Honest Service
We have a good comparison of
the law of tithing in the Old and
the New Testament in the words of
Mathew, “lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth where moth
and rust doth corrupt and where
thieves break through and steal;
Lut lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt and where thieves
uc not break through and steal; for
where your treasure is there will
your heart be also.” From this it is
eusy to know that the Old Testa
ment law of tithing has not been
repealed in the New Testament.
Dishonest Service
We have a good example of dis
honest service in the book of the
Acts, “but a certain man named An
anias and his wife Sapphire sold a
possession and kept back part of
the price his wife being also know-
l ing to it and brought a certain part
and laid it at the apostles’ feet; but
Peter said, Ananias why hath satan
filled thine heart to lie to the Holy
Ghost and to keep hack of the price
of the land.” This is an example ot
our greed over-reaching our privi-

this world's riches was a man's un
doing. It was not the amount of the
price of the property that was the
undoing of Ananias, but it was the
fact that he did not bring into God':
house what he should have brought.
It cost both Ananias an his wife to
disobey God's law. It would seem to
some that this couple had not sin
ned, but they had directly violated
God's direct commands.
False Notions
In the gospel of Mark 7:6-13
have a picture of what will be done
by those who are not true to God
“and he said unto them full well ye
reject the commandments of God
that ye may keep your own tra
ditions”. This is a true picture oi
man's selfishness. This is an example
of man putting his own puny wish
es and desires ahead of God's plans
and purposes. God makes it plain
that if we do disobey God in this
way that we will be held to a true
reckoning.
Luke tells us “and Jesus entered
and passed through Jericho, ana
thhere was a man named Zaccheus
which was the chief among the pub
licans and he was rich, and he
sought to see Jesus, who he was
and could not for the press because
he was of small stature. And he ran
and climbed up in a sycamore tree
to see Jesus for he was to pass that
way, an when Jesus came to the
place he looked up and saw him and
said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste
and come down for today I must
abide at thy house.”
Now we know that a publican was
the worst hated of all men and well
the ymight be hated for they were
extortioners. Zaccheus had failed to
bring his tithes into God's store
house, but manifested that he was
repentant. Wc find that he was will-
ling to right the wrongs that he had
committed against his fellow man.
He was willing to go more than all
the way to right the wrongs he had
clone. The life of Zaccheus had been
completely changed. Once he was an
extortioner, now he wished to do
what was right by all men. He .cot
only got right with his fellow man
but he got right with his God. To
make a complete job of his repent
ance he must get right with both
God and man.
The case of Zaccheus is one that
tve may well study. He was honest
with himself and with God. When
wh are honest with ourselves and
with our God we need not fear any
thing in this world or in tke world
to come. Truly in the end Zazzheu?
measured up as a Godly man loved
and respected where he had once
been hated.
The Lord told him, “this day is
salvation come to thine house, for
asmuch as he also is a son of Abra
ham, fr the son of man is come to
seek and to save that which was
ast.
The Psalmist paints for us a
beautiful picture of an honest man.
The Lord was asked who could abide
in his tabernacle. The Lord answered
n the words of the Psalmist, “he
that walketh uprightly and walketh
righteously and speaketh the truth
in his heart. He that backbiteth with
his tongue nor doeth evil to his
neighbor or taketh up a reproach
againgj his neighbor. In whhse'eyes
a vile person is contaminated,"'hut
be he honreth them that fear the
Lord. When we find a man that
measures up to this pattern we find
a man who is honest with his God.
When we have a business we want
to know what we are doing. In ths
business of serving God we should
keep books with ourselves and see
whether or not we are bringing all
Ihe tithes into the storehouse. _.. —
Material things of this world are
God's and are placed in man's keep
ing for his comfort and pleasure. But
God expects these material things
to pay a dividend. They are a part
of his earthly investments. If they
do not pay a dividend there will be
other dispositions made of them.
They may he placed in the hands of
other icuuitodjans.
This then brings us to face the
fact that it is wrong for us to
wantonly waste anything. The ma
terial things of this world are to be
consumed to the point they will do
the most good possible in this
world. These things were placed in
the world for a purpose and the fact
alone is enough for us to know that
it is our duty to make these things
placed in our care count for the most
in working for the glory of God and
the peace and comfort of man. \yhen
anything worth while is mantonly
destroyed it cannot he of the benefit
that was intended. Truly then we
are stewards in the world. We have
a duty to perform and how we per
form that duty is going to count for
or against us in our race for eter
nal life. We may be sure of this fact
that we are going to be held in a
strict stewardship of the material
things of this world. The accounting
day is coming and the great ac
countant of all the earth is present
with his books and our names will
be in his book of life or it will not
be. If it is wo will be assured of
having an eternity of peace and
happiness. If our names are not in
the book of life we will have made a
miserable failure of our life.
Which will it be with you and
me?
