Malachi 4:2-3 Part 1 of 2

"But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. On the day when I act, you will tread upon the wicked as if they were dust under your feet," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies.

"the Sun of Righteousness"

            and Christ will give you light." (see verses 1-14)
