Text: Luke 1:15-17; Mal 4; 1 Kings 17-19

Summary: The prophecy in Mal 4 is partially fulfilled in Luke 1 through the ministry of John the Baptist, who came in the spirit and power of Elijah. In both cases, the message is the same – Our Heavenly Father doesn’t want His children to go through the motions; instead, He wants us to turn our hearts toward Him.
