1. The love of God for Israel * Mal 1:2 "I have loved you" says The Lord. Yet you say, "In what way have you loved us?" Hubby and the missus * "was not Esau Jacob's brother?" says The Lord, "yet Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated" * Israel had no right to suggest that God didn't love them, because he chose them to be His special people. Rom 9:10-13 * Lisa Marie Presley and Nicholas Cage * Jeremiah 31:3
2. The betrayal of that love by the very objects of His love * The shift in imagery to Father/Son relationship * The belligerence of the Israelites * Mal 1:5-6 "You offer defiled food on My altar, but say 'in what way have we defiled You?'" * The danger of ticking boxes * Power playing with God / tit for tat / scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours - Deut 10:12 * Worship - what we want verses what God wants
