“Holy,
holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.”
Isaiah 6:1
The holiness is God is the eternal
anthem of the angelic host. His character is holy. His work is holy. His name
is holy. This holy God made the earth and all that is in it. He made the
universe and every galaxy and star and planet. Isaiah moves in chapter 6 from
the denunciation of the sin of man to the glory and holiness of God. Even
Isaiah the prophet saw how unclean and sinful he was when He encountered God’s
holiness.
The contrast between fallen man and
the holy God is pictured in scripture as the full contrast between brilliant
light and total darkness. That God would bridge that gulf with the gift of His
Son reveals the character of God’s immeasurable grace and love. We, like
Isaiah, can only declare, “I am a man of unclean lips,” and then receive the
forgiveness of God that He gave to the prophet.
Dear Father, Thank You for shining
light in our darkness and giving us forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
