Seeing Jesus Too! Isaiah 6:1-13
Intro:
a) The King: Uzziah began his reign when he was only 16
years old, and he reigned 52 years. Overall, he was a
good king who died tragically.
b) The Prophet: Isaiah was a contemporary of Amos,
Hosea and Micah. He ministered under four kings of
Judah: Uzziah (Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz (bad king),
and Hezekiah.
Isaiah might also be called the prophet of the NT since he is quoted
more than twice as much as any other OT prophet. There are 23
direct quotes and 38 allusions. Of 27, only 7 NT books don’t quote
him. Jesus quoted him 8 times (Jesus quotes Psalms, Deut, Is & Ex
the most)
First: The Lord – “I saw Adonai”.
In love to his Son, the Father has made Jesus the centerpiece of all
reality (and for our concerns today) judgement and salvation.
Second: The Throne – “sitting upon a throne, high and
lifted up”
Third: The Seraphim = “Above him stood the seraphim”
= “burning ones”
Fourth: The Cry – “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of
hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory”
The most loving thing you can do for anyone you love
is to love God first and most
Fifth: The Glory – “the whole earth is full of his glory”
“Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round and pluck blackberries.”
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Sixth: The Foundations – “And the foundations of the
thresholds shook at the voice of him who called…”
Seventh: The Application. 5 – “Woe is me!”
Eighth: The Hope. 6 – “the altar”
Conclusion: We can’t keep from seeing the world around
us. But it’s important that we keep our eyes on heaven too. And
that God’s throne has greater weight than the rest of the world.
