Passage: Isaiah 6:1-8
Sermon Notes and Quotes:
- Throughout scripture, we are instructed to give thanks in all circumstances.
- (1) Isaiah is overwhelmed by...the greatness of God.
- How do you see God in your own life? When our fears seem large, God seems small. But when God is big, our fears are small.
- (2) Isaiah was overwhelmed by the holiness of God.
- To say that God is holy is to say that he is not just intelligent and powerful at a level we cannot even imagine, he is also good and pure and righteous in a way with which we have no normal experience.
- (3) Isaiah was overwhelmed by his own sinfulness.
- Isaiah didn't say to God, Compared to most people around here, I'm a saint. His reaction to God's holy presence was an awareness of the unholy filth that came from his own heart and mind.
- His holiness will consume sin in the end. But, in the meantime, God's holiness also purifies anyone who turns to Him.
