Your Guilt Is Taken Away
In the year that King Uzziah died, I
saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe
filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings
they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they
were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the
LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
At
the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was
filled with smoke.
“Woe
to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among
a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”
Then
one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken
with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has
touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
Then
I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for
us?”
Isaiah 6:1-8
The
greatest miracle today is God taking us as unholy humans, then He cleanses us,
then He puts us back in a sin filled world, and we remain sinless in His eyes.
That is a miracle.
The
Lord wants to show Himself to us, thus giving us a truer vision of ourselves, a
deeper need for His grace,
and a greater commitment to live and speak for Him. What a
miracle!
Amid the darkness of sin, the light of God’s grace shines
brightest.
