6 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
There are 4 parts to worship according to Isaiah in these verses
1. Adoration (Isaiah 6:1-4)
- Awe and reverence for our Creator
- We were created for worship
- We will worship something, what or who do you worship?
2. Confession (Isaiah 6:5)
- When we have the propre adoration and perspective of God, we realize how small we are
- When we come to the end of ourself
- We realize the gap between us and God with no other way to bridge that gap but Jesus
- For your name's sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.
3. Cleansing and Forgiveness (Isaiah 6:6-7)
- Cleansed, no more guilt, and no more shame
- Our sins are forgiven
- Good to not carry the sin that weighs us down
- Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
4. Decision (Isaiah 6:8)
- "Here I am. Send me!"
- When we hear God's call, we respond with obedience
- Once we encounter the risen Lord, we can't help but want to serve the King
- We serve as His loyal subjects without fear
- Our "yes" is on the table
- We should be compelled to go and serve, sharing the gospel as we go
