Isaiah

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?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

By: The Rt. Rev. William Wilson “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts. When you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; … I will not listen; your hands are...

Isaiah 25:6-8

By: The Rev. Keith Allen Life is often hard and full of temptations, trials and troubles. We see in each of the lectionary texts today that God’s people find themselves in trouble, but God brings life and redemption from these troubles. God brought Israel out of...

Isaiah 50:4

By: The Rev. Dr. W. Ross Blackburn The above passage is one of the servant songs in Isaiah that describe the coming messiah. What I find interesting, and helpful, is how he is described as two things: one who speaks as one who has been taught, and one who is able to...

Isaiah 41:1-4

By: The Rev. Dr. W. Ross Blackburn Justice is somewhat of a wax nose in our culture. Everybody is for it, but we can’t seem to agree on what it is. Pro-life people rightly see the protection of the fatherless and the widow—in our day the unborn and their mothers—as an...
