WHOM SHALL I SEND?

Passage: Isaiah 6:1~13  

Key verse: 8


1. A vision of the Holy, Almighty God (1-7)

During King Uzziah's 52-year reign there had been peace and prosperity. People became selfish and corrupt. In the year of Uzziah's death, Isaiah saw a vision of the Holy God whose glory fills the whole earth. Isaiah repented, for he had not used his mouth to praise God--he had only complained and spoken words of despair. He cried out, 'Woe to me.' God sent a seraph to touch his mouth with a burning coal and take away his sin.

2. Here am I. Send me! (8-13)

God wanted to send Isaiah to his people with a message of repentance. Isaiah accepted God's cleansing and answered God's call. But the people were hardened by sin and pleasure-seeking; God knew that they would close their ears to his message. How long must God's servant preach to them? He must declare God's word to the end. Then, God's precious remnant would be saved-the holy seed in the stump. God works through a remnant.


Prayer: Lord, I and my people have unclean lips; cleanse me and use me.

One Word: Here am I. Send me!
