00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:07.200
 Let's turn together to the prophecy of Isaiah to chapter number 6 and we can read at the beginning of the chapter.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.040
! Isaiah chapter 6 and at verse 1.

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:25.420
 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple.

00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:28.500
 And so on down through the following verses.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:40.960
 I guess the best thing that we can spend our time studying in life is how to become a Christian and how to live as a Christian.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:52.519
 And I want us in the weeks that are to come and the times that we are together to look at something of what Isaiah has to say about becoming a Christian and being a Christian.

00:00:52.520 --> 00:01:02.320
 I think it's fair to say when we read our Bibles, there are three particular things that are repeated throughout the whole of the Bible.

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:08.500
 And the first of these is that the Bible speaks about our personal condition.

00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.480
 Where are we? What are we like?

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.740
 The Bible speaks about our personal condition.

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:16.399
 That's what happens here.

00:01:17.539 --> 00:01:23.640
 The second thing the Bible does, it compares what we are like now to what we should be.

00:01:24.619 --> 00:01:26.659
 And God has made us for himself.

00:01:27.259 --> 00:01:34.579
 And when he tells us what we're like now, the Bible compares that to what we should be, what God has made us for.

00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:39.079
 And the third thing is that there is always a remedy.

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:45.259
 So that if what I am does not correspond to what I should be, then there's a remedy.

00:01:45.859 --> 00:01:48.859
 And of course we know the remedy is the Lord Jesus.

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:51.819
 These three things are crucial.

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.079
 As you read our Bibles, what does God say about me where I am?

00:01:56.759 --> 00:01:58.900
 What does God say about where I should be?

00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:04.600
 And what does God say about getting me from where I am to where I should be?

00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.099
 And that's exactly what we have in this prophecy of Isaiah.

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.900
 There's a story here about people.

00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:14.159
 God describes them in chapter 1 as his own children.

00:02:14.939 --> 00:02:18.180
 And he raised up children and they rebelled against him.

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:20.280
 They are not what they should have been.

00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:26.240
 And down through these first chapters, there is the sense of God reminding them of that.

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:33.100
 And there is also the sense of God drawing their attention to the remedy that he will provide.

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:39.840
 That there is a new norm that he will create because of his love and because of his grace.

00:02:41.140 --> 00:02:49.439
 And in many ways, chapter 6 sets the scene for us as we look at what God has to say through Isaiah.

00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:55.699
 And when you read this chapter, we can see it as a sign of the times.

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.340
 Uzziah is a sign of the times.

00:03:01.079 --> 00:03:03.120
 King Uzziah died.

00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:05.280
 He started off well as a king.

00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.099
 God blessed him as a king.

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:11.479
 But later on, he grew proud and unfaithful.

00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.139
 And he died a leper.

00:03:14.079 --> 00:03:15.680
 He is a sign of the times.

00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:16.979
 He started well.

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:18.979
 He finished badly.

00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:29.319
 And Isaiah is brought before us here as a person through whom God is going to show how he's going to change the condition of the people.

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:39.300
 So as surely as Uzziah is a sign of the times, Isaiah is a sign of the grace of God in our lives.

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:47.439
 And bearing that in mind, I want to think today of the life of faith and the reconciling grace of God.

00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.480
 I want to think first of all of the revelation.

00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.840
 And clearly, that's what we have here.

00:03:56.259 --> 00:04:02.759
 Something is made known that was not previously known and not being known by the people.

00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:13.479
 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple.

00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.479
 I saw the Lord.

00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:16.039
 I saw the Lord.

00:04:17.099 --> 00:04:21.240
 In this case, not the Lord who is the covenant savior of the people of God.

00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.139
 In this case, it is Adonai, the Lord who has sovereignty over the whole of creation.

00:04:27.139 --> 00:04:42.259
 The vision that he sees, the revelation that is given to him, is the revelation of the sovereign God of the universe who sits upon his throne and who is there for the purpose of judging the peoples of the earth.

00:04:42.259 --> 00:05:03.120
 And whatever norm Isaiah had before all of this, suddenly his horizons change and suddenly there is a channel open and he is face to face with the Lord, the sovereign God who sits upon the throne.

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:17.899
 And as the God sits upon the throne, there is that sense of his glorious presence because we see in version number four that the house was filled with smoke.

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:27.019
 And when I read that in the Old Testament, I see God reconnecting with the world.

00:05:27.019 --> 00:05:31.299
 I see Mount Sinai where God came down to speak to Moses.

00:05:31.819 --> 00:05:33.079
 There is a reconnection.

00:05:33.539 --> 00:05:35.859
 The mountain was wrapped in smoke.

00:05:36.979 --> 00:05:38.799
 God is reconnecting.

00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:49.439
 I see it in the life of Solomon when he builds the temple in all of its glory and he prays and God comes down and fills the temple with his glory.

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.079
 God is reconnecting with his people in the days of Solomon.

00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:01.740
 And then we come into the New Testament and we see the same thing happening in the passion of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:08.680
 John tells us that we have seen his glory as the glory of the only begotten of the Father.

00:06:09.159 --> 00:06:15.019
 God is reconnecting with our world through the passion of his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:18.579
 And that's where we're at today.

00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:28.019
 However marvelous it was that God reconnected with Israel in the days of Moses and with Israel in the days of Solomon,

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:38.459
 God has reconnected with us, with our world, by sending his Son to be our Savior.

00:06:38.459 --> 00:06:50.419
 And there is that sense in this picture of reconnection in the midst of the chaos of the days of Isaiah.

00:06:51.359 --> 00:06:59.159
 That there is this reconnection in the midst of that chaos to reverse the decline and to bring about change.

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.540
 We are here to worship God.

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:11.000
 We are here to have a sense of where we are and what we are doing.

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:16.180
 We are here to discover, perhaps for the first time,

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.780
 that the God who is far above what we are and can even begin to think about

00:07:21.780 --> 00:07:25.340
 is also the God who is here with us.

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:29.919
 He shall be called Emmanuel, God with us.

00:07:30.739 --> 00:07:32.339
 God is here.

00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.279
 And God wants us today to look through the furnishings and to look through the buildings

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.719
 and to look through everything that is around us

00:07:41.719 --> 00:07:47.979
 and to recognize that we are in the presence of God.

00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:54.840
 And as you read on in version number two, the sense of the glory of God

00:07:54.840 --> 00:08:03.439
 and this revelation is filled with movement, with a dynamic that speaks of an activity around the throne of God

00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.280
 that is engaged in the reconnection process.

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:12.219
 And we see that the seraphim, in version number two,

00:08:12.219 --> 00:08:20.079
 above him stood the seraphim, each hath six wings, with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

00:08:21.179 --> 00:08:22.539
 They are the burning ones.

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:25.859
 They are the ones who are protecting the throne of God.

00:08:27.059 --> 00:08:27.939
 There is reverence.

00:08:28.099 --> 00:08:29.419
 They cover their faces.

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.419
 There is a sense of unworthiness.

00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:33.639
 They cover their feet.

00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:38.840
 There is a sense of submission to God in the same way they are covering their feet.

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.120
 And there is that sense of readiness to go and do what God wants them to do.

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.879
 With two, they were going to fly.

00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:58.299
 There is a movement that brings about an expectation here around the throne of God.

00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:01.580
 And they are a heavenly choir.

00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:05.160
 They are singing in the presence of God.

00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:08.020
 They are calling out to one another,

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.480
 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.

00:09:11.060 --> 00:09:14.879
 The whole earth is filled with his glory.

00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:18.060
 God is everywhere.

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:22.820
 And that is the message that God is giving to Isaiah.

00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:26.740
 God is in the worship of God.

00:09:27.540 --> 00:09:29.440
 God is in our everyday lives.

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.080
 God is in our homes, in our families, in our workplaces, in our school.

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.460
 Wherever we go, God is everywhere.

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:51.280
 And I may have mentioned it before, but there is a picture of what Isaiah's world was like and what our world is like.

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:55.400
 And it's taken from a book called Rewind Sinners to Reclaim.

00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:02.600
 And there is a picture of life living in a house or a home where there are no skylights.

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:08.799
 And all the light that I get into this home is from the windows in the side.

00:10:09.079 --> 00:10:10.600
 It's all horizontal.

00:10:11.439 --> 00:10:14.919
 So everything arriving in this house comes from what's out there.

00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:19.000
 And because there is no skylight, there's nothing comes from above.

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:26.460
 And through this revelation given to Isaiah, that's how the people of God were in the days of Isaiah.

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:29.879
 They were listening to what was out there in the world.

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:33.200
 They were conforming to what was out there in the world.

00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:41.279
 And they weren't receiving anything from God, the God who was their God, who was their covenant Lord and covenant Savior.

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.500
 Heaven was closed and their hearts were wide open to the world in which they lived.

00:10:49.339 --> 00:10:52.319
 And here now, God is reopening that channel.

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.819
 He's recreating that channel of communication.

00:10:56.379 --> 00:11:02.799
 He's reconnecting with Isaiah and with the people in order to speak into their everyday experience.

00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:13.620
 And how like my life and how like your life is that picture?

00:11:14.899 --> 00:11:24.599
 Even when we come to worship God, how keenly are we aware that there is a channel from God's throne that speaks to us?

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:34.200
 How much do we spend worship and life thinking horizontally and not connecting with God?

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:43.920
 And God today wants to show us that he wants to break through this windowless roof of our lives

00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:49.800
 and to cause his light to shine down so that we will hear from him.

00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.240
 The revelation.

00:11:53.139 --> 00:12:02.179
 We are coming to worship God, to see what God is like, and so that God will show us what he is like.

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:09.279
 Secondly, there is reconciliation.

00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:15.579
 And the revelation creates two responses.

00:12:16.579 --> 00:12:19.539
 And the first response is one of crisis.

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.740
 And the crisis is on the side of Isaiah.

00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.859
 And we hear him crying out in verse number five,

00:12:27.479 --> 00:12:29.639
 Woe is me, for I am lost.

00:12:30.979 --> 00:12:36.219
 When I read the words, woe is me, it speaks of the judgment of God coming.

00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:45.240
 We read the previous chapter and the words I use time after time to show the way in which God was coming to judge the people.

00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:46.240
 And the first thing that Isaiah is conscious of.

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:53.879
 And the first thing that Isaiah is conscious of in the revelation given to him is that God is coming to judge him.

00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:57.960
 And because of that, that he is actually lost.

00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:05.620
 As if he was saying, I am already as good as dead.

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:07.620
 The revelation of the glory of God.

00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:09.419
 The revelation of the glory of God.

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:12.100
 Floored Isaiah completely.

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:18.299
 And more or less took away his whole sense of life and of living.

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:28.639
 And that was the case simply because his eyes had seen the king, the Lord of hosts.

00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:34.220
 You and I can look at an object.

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.860
 As I look at the clock right now, I'm just a glancing look.

00:13:38.439 --> 00:13:39.199
 And that's a done.

00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.419
 And we spend so much of life doing that.

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:43.699
 We glance at the Bible.

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.980
 We glance at things happening around us.

00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:49.679
 But the seeing here is one of being captivated.

00:13:50.699 --> 00:13:52.199
 It's one of being engrossed.

00:13:52.980 --> 00:13:55.500
 It's one of having our eyes fixed entirely.

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:59.919
 Of being aware that this is the most important thing around me.

00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.580
 And that everything else is forgotten about.

00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:05.980
 That's where Isaiah found himself.

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:08.580
 He was alone with his God.

00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.860
 And he sensed that he was alone with his God.

00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.000
 And he could see no one but God.

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:19.340
 And in that moment of being captured by the glory of God,

00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:21.500
 he found himself lost.

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.019
 Because of his sin.

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:26.860
 I am a man of unclean lips.

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:31.079
 For my eyes have seen the king, the Lord of hosts.

00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:37.799
 He was unfit to sing with the heavenly choir.

00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.840
 Later on in this prophecy,

00:14:42.059 --> 00:14:44.500
 and Jesus quotes these words in the Gospels,

00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:47.059
 that God was angry with his people

00:14:47.059 --> 00:14:49.600
 because they were drawing near to him with their lips.

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.699
 But their hearts were far away.

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:56.480
 And suddenly, in this moment,

00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.860
 Isaiah discovers his own personal sin

00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:05.259
 as well as the sin of the people of God.

00:15:06.660 --> 00:15:12.060
 He, in other words, comes to confess his sin.

00:15:12.059 --> 00:15:20.679
 It's the sense of having my conscience awakened in such a way

00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.099
 that I sense that what I've done wrong against God

00:15:24.099 --> 00:15:26.079
 deserves the wrath of God.

00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:33.060
 It's a light bulb moment because it's something that comes only when we see the glory of God.

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:39.100
 And we can go through life with any troubled conscience in any way,

00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:41.060
 and we journey on day by day,

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.940
 and life is plain sailing.

00:15:42.940 --> 00:15:46.380
 But when we are in the presence of God,

00:15:46.380 --> 00:15:48.560
 it's not so.

00:15:49.380 --> 00:15:52.240
 Because my sin deserves his judgment.

00:15:53.300 --> 00:15:54.740
 When I see his light,

00:15:55.140 --> 00:15:57.320
 my conscience tells me I'm guilty.

00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:00.060
 And the first thing I'm going to do is to

00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:02.320
 confess my sin to this God.

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.500
 And today,

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:09.580
 God wants you to have that response.

00:16:11.160 --> 00:16:14.440
 He wants you to let his light

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.620
 shine not around you,

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:19.600
 but in your conscience.

00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:22.160
 And in shining into your conscience,

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:23.879
 to let you see

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.920
 where you do go wrong.

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:28.419
 And to let you see that that wrongdoing

00:16:28.419 --> 00:16:31.240
 is sin against God.

00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.199
 And to bring you to the place

00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:33.919
 where,

00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:36.159
 as a sinner against God,

00:16:36.819 --> 00:16:38.360
 you confess your sin.

00:16:39.219 --> 00:16:41.219
 Because you know God knows it.

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:44.620
 And you take God's view of your sin.

00:16:44.719 --> 00:16:45.939
 What is your condition?

00:16:47.219 --> 00:16:49.159
 The condition is that we are sinners.

00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:51.399
 That God says so.

00:16:51.659 --> 00:16:53.279
 And when I come to confess my sin,

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.459
 I'm taking God's view of me

00:16:56.459 --> 00:16:57.799
 and making it my own

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.939
 and saying to God,

00:16:59.379 --> 00:16:59.699
 yes,

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:01.720
 you say I'm a sinner.

00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:03.779
 I'm acknowledging before you

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:06.599
 that that's exactly what I am.

00:17:08.639 --> 00:17:12.379
 And that's a huge first step

00:17:12.379 --> 00:17:13.639
 on the pathway

00:17:13.639 --> 00:17:15.339
 to becoming a Christian,

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.160
 to becoming the child of God.

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:21.639
 And reconnecting once more

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:24.100
 with the picture of the house

00:17:24.100 --> 00:17:25.060
 without skylights.

00:17:26.020 --> 00:17:27.120
 In that same book,

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:28.440
 there's the sense of

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.920
 two things happening.

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:32.120
 And that is

00:17:32.120 --> 00:17:35.580
 that sin is being redefined

00:17:35.580 --> 00:17:37.360
 by the world out there.

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.580
 And the world out there

00:17:39.580 --> 00:17:40.640
 may speak about sin

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.920
 without any reference to God.

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.720
 And when I do wrong to my neighbor

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:47.600
 or wrong to the person next to me,

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:49.560
 then the world will say

00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:50.140
 that's sin.

00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:51.520
 I've wronged my neighbor

00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:54.259
 without any reference to God.

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:54.620
 And of course,

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:55.340
 that is a sin

00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:56.080
 to wrong my neighbor.

00:17:56.820 --> 00:17:58.420
 But if I am no other reference

00:17:58.420 --> 00:17:59.640
 but the person next to me,

00:18:00.020 --> 00:18:01.700
 then I've excluded God

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:02.840
 from the picture.

00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:05.520
 And that's what you and I

00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:08.060
 must ensure that never happens.

00:18:08.520 --> 00:18:10.360
 We want to take this image here

00:18:10.360 --> 00:18:12.259
 and to let the light

00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:14.160
 of the holiness of God

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:15.740
 shine into our hearts

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:17.480
 and to shine upon our sin

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.900
 and to understand that

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:20.319
 what we have done wrong

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.420
 is against the Holy God

00:18:23.420 --> 00:18:26.140
 who is our creator.

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:28.519
 And that is alongside of that

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.420
 the whole cultural movement

00:18:31.420 --> 00:18:33.660
 to eliminate sin

00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:35.740
 from our vocabulary altogether.

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:37.900
 So that you and I

00:18:37.900 --> 00:18:39.359
 can go and live life

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:40.240
 today and tomorrow

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.140
 and why should we worry about sin?

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.640
 It's removed from the vocabulary

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.620
 of the society around us

00:18:46.620 --> 00:18:49.019
 and that society

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:50.299
 wants to remove it

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:52.319
 from our vocabulary as well.

00:18:53.539 --> 00:18:55.039
 And we need to retain

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.380
 that sense of sin,

00:18:56.900 --> 00:18:58.180
 that sense of sinfulness

00:18:58.180 --> 00:19:00.620
 and that sense of sinnership

00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:02.359
 with reference to God.

00:19:03.139 --> 00:19:04.979
 It is the God who is holy

00:19:04.979 --> 00:19:06.819
 that shows me my sin.

00:19:07.379 --> 00:19:08.899
 And it is to him I must say,

00:19:09.439 --> 00:19:10.539
 yes, I'm a sinner.

00:19:10.879 --> 00:19:12.859
 I do confess my sin.

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:19.459
 That was the response of Isaiah.

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:22.859
 But thankfully,

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.139
 that wasn't the only response.

00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:30.640
 There is the movement

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.360
 at God's throne.

00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:35.060
 That imagery following

00:19:35.060 --> 00:19:37.180
 the confession of Isaiah,

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.640
 the seraphim are flying around

00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.259
 in submission to God,

00:19:43.300 --> 00:19:44.600
 humble before God,

00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:46.200
 waiting to fly out

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.380
 at God's command

00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:49.020
 and suddenly the command

00:19:49.020 --> 00:19:50.520
 comes from the throne of God

00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:52.460
 and there is a seraphim

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:55.620
 that moves into action.

00:19:55.619 --> 00:19:57.319
 And that's what we have

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:58.119
 in verse number six.

00:19:58.639 --> 00:19:59.719
 Then one of the seraphim

00:19:59.719 --> 00:20:01.000
 flew to me,

00:20:01.579 --> 00:20:02.379
 having in his hand

00:20:02.379 --> 00:20:03.219
 a burning coal

00:20:03.219 --> 00:20:04.279
 that he had taken

00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:04.899
 with tongues

00:20:04.899 --> 00:20:07.179
 from the altar.

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.679
 The seraphim

00:20:09.679 --> 00:20:12.000
 with the burning coal

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.659
 taken from the altar

00:20:13.659 --> 00:20:15.459
 and making his journey

00:20:15.459 --> 00:20:17.079
 towards Isaiah.

00:20:18.619 --> 00:20:19.799
 We don't know exactly

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:20.799
 what the image was

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.619
 or what the coal was,

00:20:22.919 --> 00:20:24.239
 but we do know this much

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.259
 that in God's temple

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:27.099
 there is an altar

00:20:27.099 --> 00:20:28.380
 where sacrifice

00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:30.339
 is made to take away sin

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:31.579
 and there is an altar

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:32.539
 where there is

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:34.599
 prayer offered to God

00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:35.259
 on the basis

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:37.299
 of sin being taken away.

00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:38.960
 So there is

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:40.920
 death for sin,

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:42.059
 the punishment of sin,

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.400
 and then there is a place

00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.319
 where we have peace

00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:46.079
 with God.

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:48.180
 And when I see this image

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:49.440
 in the temple

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:50.299
 before Isaiah

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:51.059
 and the seraphim

00:20:51.059 --> 00:20:51.759
 comes to take

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.400
 a coal of the altar,

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:54.600
 he's not taking

00:20:54.600 --> 00:20:55.540
 the coal of the altar

00:20:55.540 --> 00:20:56.780
 where sacrifice

00:20:56.780 --> 00:20:57.420
 was made.

00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:58.580
 He's taking the coal

00:20:58.580 --> 00:20:59.019
 of the altar

00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:00.720
 where peace is declared

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.759
 and where God

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.700
 is reconciled

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.300
 to the people.

00:21:04.800 --> 00:21:06.180
 And that's a crucial difference

00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:07.400
 when I see this

00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.519
 seraphim coming

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:10.240
 towards Isaiah.

00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:11.580
 It's not to condemn him

00:21:11.580 --> 00:21:12.480
 for his sin,

00:21:13.080 --> 00:21:13.960
 it's to bring him

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:14.740
 the good news

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:16.540
 that sin has been removed

00:21:16.540 --> 00:21:17.640
 and that there is now

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:19.920
 peace with God.

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:22.340
 What a journey.

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.259
 That in the invisible realm

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:25.940
 of heaven

00:21:25.940 --> 00:21:27.480
 there is this moment

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.600
 in the invisible world

00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:29.700
 of Isaiah himself

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:31.360
 that then there is heaven

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:32.480
 moving towards him

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.640
 with the seraphim

00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.860
 to come

00:21:34.860 --> 00:21:37.280
 to where he is found.

00:21:38.860 --> 00:21:40.259
 And the journey

00:21:40.259 --> 00:21:42.940
 is one

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:44.400
 for the purpose

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:46.360
 of reconnection,

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:48.460
 of reconciliation.

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:51.559
 He touched my mouth

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.039
 and said,

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:52.880
 Behold,

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:53.559
 this has touched

00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:53.980
 your lips.

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:56.039
 Your guilt is taken away

00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.259
 and your sin

00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:57.799
 is

00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.539
 atoned for.

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.539
 This

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:03.340
 has touched

00:22:03.340 --> 00:22:04.259
 your lips.

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:07.940
 I can touch

00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:08.400
 something

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:10.700
 with a hard touch.

00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:13.440
 I can touch

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.039
 something

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:15.140
 with a gentle touch.

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:17.400
 I can touch

00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:18.220
 my children

00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:18.839
 when I sleep

00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:21.220
 to comfort them

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:22.379
 and to encourage

00:22:22.379 --> 00:22:23.379
 them to go to sleep.

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.279
 It's the gentle touch.

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:27.519
 And when I read

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.279
 touch here,

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:30.579
 it's not the hard touch.

00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:33.399
 It's the gentle touch

00:22:33.399 --> 00:22:34.859
 of a heavenly father.

00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:37.740
 And the gentle touch

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:38.460
 of a heavenly father

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:39.879
 is the touch

00:22:39.879 --> 00:22:40.500
 through which

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:41.759
 there is

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.699
 forgiveness

00:22:42.699 --> 00:22:44.379
 and there is

00:22:44.379 --> 00:22:45.460
 reconciliation.

00:22:47.919 --> 00:22:49.599
 We can remind ourselves

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:50.980
 of the story

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:51.399
 of the woman

00:22:51.399 --> 00:22:52.299
 who came to Jesus

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:53.579
 in Luke chapter 8.

00:22:54.639 --> 00:22:55.699
 She was in the crowd

00:22:55.699 --> 00:22:57.879
 and she came

00:22:57.879 --> 00:22:59.399
 believing firmly

00:22:59.399 --> 00:23:00.500
 that if she touched

00:23:00.500 --> 00:23:01.599
 with the garment

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:02.119
 of Jesus,

00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:03.500
 she would be healed.

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:04.640
 And she came

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:05.460
 and touched him.

00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:06.680
 Nobody knew that.

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:08.079
 And Jesus

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:09.480
 stops the conversation,

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.799
 someone has touched me.

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:14.059
 Who has touched me?

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:15.400
 And of course

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:15.900
 the disciples

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:16.299
 are saying,

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.420
 how can you ask

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:19.059
 that question?

00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.099
 With the crowds

00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:20.700
 around us,

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:21.500
 how can you ask

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:22.099
 who touched me?

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:23.339
 Everyone is touching you.

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:25.500
 But Jesus said,

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:27.539
 I recognize

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:29.859
 that power has gone

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:31.079
 out from me.

00:23:32.159 --> 00:23:33.920
 That's the reconnection.

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:35.720
 That's the reconciliation.

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.779
 That's the peace

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.299
 with God

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:39.839
 through our Lord

00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:41.359
 Jesus Christ.

00:23:43.639 --> 00:23:44.899
 And in this moment

00:23:44.899 --> 00:23:45.240
 today,

00:23:45.399 --> 00:23:46.879
 as we reflect

00:23:46.879 --> 00:23:48.279
 upon this revelation

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:49.559
 and where God's

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.559
 word finds us

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:52.339
 and where God

00:23:52.339 --> 00:23:54.180
 wants to take us,

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:55.700
 here we see

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.500
 Isaiah

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:58.000
 taken from

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.620
 the place

00:23:58.620 --> 00:24:00.299
 of condemnation

00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:01.340
 and taken

00:24:01.340 --> 00:24:01.840
 to a place

00:24:01.840 --> 00:24:02.680
 of reconciliation,

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:03.720
 of peace

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.200
 with God

00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:05.080
 through this

00:24:05.080 --> 00:24:06.140
 dynamic movement

00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:06.980
 from the throne

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.460
 of God

00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:09.140
 that touches

00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:09.960
 his lips

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.340
 and his sin

00:24:11.340 --> 00:24:12.620
 is taken away.

00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:15.680
 We can

00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:16.480
 perhaps begin

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.180
 to imagine

00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:18.500
 something of

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.180
 the transformation

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:21.180
 in Isaiah's

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.200
 experience

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:22.920
 and we'll see

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:23.860
 as we read on.

00:24:24.580 --> 00:24:25.000
 But in that

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.580
 moment of

00:24:25.580 --> 00:24:26.240
 touching,

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:28.180
 power has gone

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:29.259
 out from God,

00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:30.519
 from Jesus,

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:31.279
 through Jesus,

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:32.220
 by the Spirit

00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:32.660
 of God

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:35.200
 and our sin

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:36.160
 is taken

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:38.059
 away.

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:41.580
 And today

00:24:41.580 --> 00:24:42.360
 we are thankful

00:24:42.360 --> 00:24:43.960
 that in the Lord

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:44.440
 Jesus

00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:45.700
 our sin

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.860
 is taken away.

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:48.279
 Isaiah speaks

00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:48.740
 powerfully

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.700
 in chapter 53

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:51.059
 of the very way

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:52.079
 in which the

00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:52.779
 Son of God,

00:24:52.879 --> 00:24:53.500
 the servant

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.159
 of Jehovah

00:24:54.159 --> 00:24:54.960
 is coming

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:55.500
 to suffer

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:56.039
 in our place,

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:57.480
 to bear our sins,

00:24:58.460 --> 00:24:59.460
 to be a sacrifice

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:00.240
 for our sins

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:02.259
 and to raise us

00:25:02.259 --> 00:25:03.419
 up into newness

00:25:03.419 --> 00:25:04.559
 of life.

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.440
 And we come

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:08.079
 today with

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:08.980
 the guilt

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.859
 of our sin

00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:11.359
 and with our

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.039
 sense of being

00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:12.799
 condemned

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:14.039
 because of our sin.

00:25:14.679 --> 00:25:15.599
 We come to put

00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:16.079
 our trust

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:16.819
 in the Lord Jesus

00:25:16.819 --> 00:25:18.299
 where Paul

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:18.859
 tells us

00:25:18.859 --> 00:25:19.599
 there is

00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:19.899
 therefore

00:25:19.899 --> 00:25:20.799
 now no

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.740
 condemnation

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.679
 to those

00:25:22.679 --> 00:25:23.200
 who are in

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:24.139
 Christ Jesus.

00:25:25.659 --> 00:25:26.659
 The great

00:25:26.659 --> 00:25:28.299
 reconnecting

00:25:28.299 --> 00:25:29.079
 grace

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:30.339
 of God.

00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.319
 And in the

00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:35.319
 invisible world

00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:36.399
 of your

00:25:36.399 --> 00:25:37.919
 heart and life,

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.559
 perhaps in this

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.439
 very moment,

00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:42.879
 heaven's

00:25:42.879 --> 00:25:44.099
 dynamic power

00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:45.699
 is moving

00:25:45.699 --> 00:25:46.519
 toward you

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.879
 to place

00:25:47.879 --> 00:25:49.359
 the hand

00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:49.879
 of God

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:50.919
 upon your

00:25:50.919 --> 00:25:51.259
 heart,

00:25:51.339 --> 00:25:51.819
 to wash

00:25:51.819 --> 00:25:52.319
 away your

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:53.259
 sin and

00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:53.699
 to give you

00:25:53.699 --> 00:25:54.279
 peace with

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:55.139
 him through

00:25:55.139 --> 00:25:55.799
 the Lord

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:56.679
 Jesus Christ.

00:25:57.779 --> 00:25:58.719
 You cannot

00:25:58.719 --> 00:25:59.659
 invite that.

00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:01.240
 You cannot

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.139
 demand that.

00:26:03.139 --> 00:26:03.939
 But the

00:26:03.939 --> 00:26:04.699
 Lord who sits

00:26:04.699 --> 00:26:05.299
 upon his

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:05.799
 throne,

00:26:06.639 --> 00:26:07.319
 that's how he

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:07.839
 works,

00:26:08.199 --> 00:26:09.259
 to save people

00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:10.000
 like you and

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:10.500
 like me.

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:11.880
 he comes

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:12.500
 in this

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:13.480
 invisible way

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:15.140
 to change

00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:15.579
 us in our

00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:16.039
 hearts,

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:17.380
 take away

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:17.859
 our guilty

00:26:17.859 --> 00:26:18.539
 conscience

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:20.039
 and give us

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:21.019
 a sense of

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:22.819
 his peace.

00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:24.180
 The

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.819
 reconciliation,

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.819
 fundamental,

00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:28.180
 basic to

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:29.779
 being a

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:30.640
 Christian and

00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:31.440
 from there

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:32.119
 we go to

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:33.440
 live life

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.920
 as a

00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:35.299
 Christian.

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:37.859
 So we

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:38.119
 have

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:40.019
 revelation,

00:26:40.500 --> 00:26:41.960
 we have

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.500
 reconciliation

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:43.500
 and thirdly

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:43.940
 and finally

00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:44.960
 we have

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:47.299
 responsibility

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:50.700
 and Isaiah

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:51.220
 did not

00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:52.299
 shy away

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:53.839
 from the

00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:54.519
 responsibility

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.920
 that God

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.420
 called him

00:26:56.420 --> 00:26:56.660
 to.

00:26:57.819 --> 00:26:58.519
 And we

00:26:58.519 --> 00:26:58.859
 see the

00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.440
 responsibility

00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.980
 because God

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.880
 has a

00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:02.259
 mission

00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:04.200
 and God's

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:04.700
 mission is

00:27:04.700 --> 00:27:05.319
 for this

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.759
 people,

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:06.480
 his own

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:06.940
 people.

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.160
 He has a

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:08.500
 ministry,

00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.180
 he has a

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:09.920
 message for

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:10.240
 them.

00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:11.619
 And we

00:27:11.619 --> 00:27:12.140
 hear this

00:27:12.140 --> 00:27:13.240
 message coming

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:13.799
 out in

00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:14.279
 verse number

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:14.539
 eight.

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:16.180
 I heard

00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:16.640
 the voice

00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:16.960
 of the

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.440
 Lord saying

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:18.579
 whom shall

00:27:18.579 --> 00:27:19.119
 I send

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:20.000
 and who

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.440
 will go

00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:21.359
 for us?

00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:22.920
 One

00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:23.380
 becomes

00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:23.799
 three.

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:25.160
 And the

00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:25.619
 God who is

00:27:25.619 --> 00:27:25.960
 speaking,

00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:26.640
 suddenly there

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:27.539
 are three

00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:27.960
 people,

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:28.299
 there is

00:27:28.299 --> 00:27:28.880
 God,

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:29.359
 Father,

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:29.940
 Son and

00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:30.619
 Holy Spirit

00:27:30.619 --> 00:27:31.960
 who will

00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:32.559
 go for

00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:33.000
 us?

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.619
 We have

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:35.099
 this mission

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:35.660
 to save

00:27:35.660 --> 00:27:36.160
 the world.

00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:37.579
 We have

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:38.140
 this mission

00:27:38.140 --> 00:27:38.720
 to save the

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.120
 people in

00:27:39.120 --> 00:27:39.480
 the days

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:40.259
 of Isaiah.

00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:42.220
 After all

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:42.539
 that God

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:42.860
 has done

00:27:42.860 --> 00:27:43.420
 for Isaiah,

00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:44.360
 who now

00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:44.680
 is going

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:45.039
 to go

00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:45.819
 for us?

00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:48.799
 The sound

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:49.480
 of the

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.200
 voice of

00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:50.640
 God

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:52.660
 because of

00:27:52.660 --> 00:27:53.160
 the mission

00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:53.720
 of God

00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:54.680
 and because

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:55.180
 of those

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:55.680
 who have

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.559
 not yet

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.420
 experienced

00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:59.900
 what Isaiah

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:00.860
 experienced.

00:28:01.339 --> 00:28:02.519
 Who will

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.000
 go for

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:05.440
 us?

00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:09.160
 And for

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:10.539
 every person

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:11.000
 who becomes

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.579
 a Christian,

00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:13.279
 for every person

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:13.720
 who becomes

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.420
 the child

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:14.960
 of God,

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:16.099
 it's the

00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:16.900
 moment of

00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:17.799
 beginning to

00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:18.339
 serve.

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.740
 It's the

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:21.259
 moment of

00:28:21.259 --> 00:28:22.660
 God calling

00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:23.059
 us to

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:23.819
 himself to

00:28:23.819 --> 00:28:24.379
 be at

00:28:24.379 --> 00:28:24.980
 peace with

00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:25.859
 him and

00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:26.660
 from that

00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:27.700
 peace to

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.119
 be ready

00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:28.680
 to go

00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:29.359
 and serve.

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.619
 And of

00:28:31.619 --> 00:28:31.819
 course,

00:28:31.939 --> 00:28:32.359
 there is a

00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:33.219
 central element

00:28:33.219 --> 00:28:34.099
 to our

00:28:34.099 --> 00:28:34.740
 salvation,

00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:35.599
 to us

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.039
 becoming

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:36.379
 Christians,

00:28:36.679 --> 00:28:37.279
 that is

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:37.719
 very

00:28:37.719 --> 00:28:38.299
 personal.

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:40.019
 It changes

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:40.659
 who we

00:28:40.659 --> 00:28:41.599
 are and

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:41.899
 we have

00:28:41.899 --> 00:28:42.439
 the joy

00:28:42.439 --> 00:28:42.879
 of the

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:43.379
 Spirit of

00:28:43.379 --> 00:28:44.059
 God because

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:44.740
 of our

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:44.959
 new

00:28:44.959 --> 00:28:45.519
 relationship

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:46.359
 with God.

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:48.519
 But that

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:48.979
 moment,

00:28:49.419 --> 00:28:49.539
 as

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:50.159
 personal as

00:28:50.159 --> 00:28:50.519
 it is,

00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:51.240
 it is

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:51.939
 preparation,

00:28:52.379 --> 00:28:52.639
 it is

00:28:52.639 --> 00:28:53.219
 equipping,

00:28:53.639 --> 00:28:53.979
 it is

00:28:53.979 --> 00:28:56.039
 getting us

00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:56.599
 ready

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:58.559
 to serve

00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.000
 God.

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:00.359
 and to

00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:00.819
 be his

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.439
 disciples.

00:29:02.459 --> 00:29:03.119
 And we

00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:03.519
 see the

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:04.240
 immediate

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:04.879
 response

00:29:04.879 --> 00:29:06.659
 from Isaiah

00:29:06.659 --> 00:29:07.519
 when the

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:07.979
 voice goes

00:29:07.979 --> 00:29:08.199
 out,

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:08.839
 who will

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:09.279
 go for

00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:09.519
 us?

00:29:10.179 --> 00:29:10.740
 Then I

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:11.039
 said,

00:29:11.659 --> 00:29:12.519
 look at

00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:12.759
 me,

00:29:12.879 --> 00:29:13.579
 here am

00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:13.899
 I,

00:29:14.859 --> 00:29:15.299
 don't look

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.899
 any further,

00:29:17.979 --> 00:29:18.459
 send

00:29:18.459 --> 00:29:18.799
 me.

00:29:20.439 --> 00:29:21.039
 I will

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.879
 go wherever

00:29:21.879 --> 00:29:22.279
 you want

00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:22.539
 me to

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:22.759
 go.

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:24.139
 Jesus

00:29:24.139 --> 00:29:24.679
 said to

00:29:24.679 --> 00:29:24.799
 the

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.199
 disciples,

00:29:25.199 --> 00:29:25.919
 as the

00:29:25.919 --> 00:29:26.379
 Father has

00:29:26.379 --> 00:29:26.839
 sent me,

00:29:27.199 --> 00:29:27.740
 so I

00:29:27.740 --> 00:29:28.740
 send you.

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:31.500
 God is

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:32.119
 calling us

00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:32.659
 today to

00:29:32.659 --> 00:29:33.399
 the

00:29:33.399 --> 00:29:33.959
 revelation

00:29:33.959 --> 00:29:34.859
 of his

00:29:34.859 --> 00:29:35.479
 glory in

00:29:35.479 --> 00:29:36.059
 the

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:36.819
 gospel and

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:37.019
 the

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:37.559
 passion of

00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:37.819
 Jesus

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:38.279
 Christ.

00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:39.599
 He is

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:40.059
 calling us

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.939
 to embrace

00:29:40.939 --> 00:29:41.119
 the

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:42.219
 reconciliation

00:29:42.219 --> 00:29:42.759
 that we

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.240
 have in

00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:43.679
 the gospel,

00:29:44.219 --> 00:29:44.599
 and having

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.240
 done so,

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:46.899
 he is

00:29:46.899 --> 00:29:47.719
 calling us

00:29:47.719 --> 00:29:49.039
 to serve

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:49.559
 him,

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:51.439
 to be the

00:29:51.439 --> 00:29:51.839
 light of

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.279
 the world,

00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:53.399
 to be the

00:29:53.399 --> 00:29:53.839
 salt of

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.319
 the earth.

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:55.740
 God

00:29:55.740 --> 00:30:00.859
 calls us

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:01.439
 to serve.

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:03.740
 It may

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:04.619
 simply be

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:06.439
 going back

00:30:06.439 --> 00:30:07.000
 to school

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:07.539
 this week,

00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:08.359
 somebody who

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:08.879
 has learned

00:30:08.879 --> 00:30:09.740
 about Jesus,

00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:11.759
 and who

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.220
 goes to

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:13.480
 school serving

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:13.899
 the Lord

00:30:13.899 --> 00:30:14.279
 Jesus,

00:30:14.879 --> 00:30:15.700
 sharing what

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:15.960
 you have

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.720
 learned about

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:17.179
 the Lord

00:30:17.179 --> 00:30:17.559
 Jesus.

00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:18.960
 That's what

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:19.480
 God,

00:30:19.659 --> 00:30:20.059
 that's what

00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:21.379
 Jesus calls

00:30:21.379 --> 00:30:22.000
 you to do.

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.200
 If you

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:23.960
 have received

00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:24.660
 the blessing,

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:25.640
 then you

00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:25.920
 are to

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:26.539
 share it

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:27.039
 with those

00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:27.720
 who are

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.099
 in school

00:30:28.099 --> 00:30:28.680
 with you.

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:30.960
 You go

00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:31.400
 back to

00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:32.960
 studying at

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:33.599
 university or

 college,

00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:34.900
 go back to

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.480
 the workplace,

00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:37.059
 we are

00:30:37.059 --> 00:30:37.759
 here to

00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.380
 serve.

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:39.920
 We are

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.519
 called upon

00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:41.559
 to show

00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:43.000
 our appreciation

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.720
 of what God

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.640
 has done by

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.539
 being just

00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:46.240
 like Isaiah,

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.680
 here am I,

00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:50.460

00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:52.420
 And so

00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:53.359
 that with

00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:53.859
 the spirit

00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:55.119
 of Isaiah,

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.319
 with the

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:56.839
 spirit of

00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:57.440
 the gospel,

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.319
 with the

00:30:58.319 --> 00:30:59.000
 spirit of

00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:00.480
 the discipleship,

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:01.980
 whatever there

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:02.900
 is a need,

00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:04.380
 God is

00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:05.200
 calling you

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:06.559
 and me to

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:07.279
 fill that

00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.559
 gap and

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.299
 to fill that

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:10.599
 space and

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.279
 to ensure

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:12.339
 that we

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:13.960
 are serving

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.839
 God in

00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:15.539
 accordance with

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:16.640
 God's call

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:17.880
 upon us.

00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:19.700
 And the

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:20.420
 call can be,

00:31:20.500 --> 00:31:20.859
 as I said,

00:31:20.859 --> 00:31:21.899
 something very

00:31:21.899 --> 00:31:23.059
 local and

00:31:23.059 --> 00:31:23.539
 something that

00:31:23.539 --> 00:31:24.019
 perhaps we

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:24.740
 would dismiss.

00:31:25.859 --> 00:31:26.219
 But the

00:31:26.219 --> 00:31:26.639
 call may

00:31:26.639 --> 00:31:28.379
 also be to

00:31:28.379 --> 00:31:28.719
 a more

00:31:28.719 --> 00:31:29.439
 full-time

00:31:29.439 --> 00:31:30.619
 focused service

00:31:30.619 --> 00:31:31.679
 in the

00:31:31.679 --> 00:31:32.500
 church of

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:32.879
 Christ.

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:34.899
 And God

00:31:34.899 --> 00:31:35.599
 may call us

00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:36.859
 to serve in

00:31:36.859 --> 00:31:37.359
 school and

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:37.959
 to serve in

00:31:37.959 --> 00:31:38.619
 university and

00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:39.019
 college and

00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:39.479
 to serve in

00:31:39.479 --> 00:31:39.899
 a workplace.

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:42.139
 But God

00:31:42.139 --> 00:31:42.719
 may also

00:31:42.719 --> 00:31:43.299
 call you,

00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:44.259
 even today,

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:45.379
 to serve

00:31:45.379 --> 00:31:46.899
 him in the

00:31:46.899 --> 00:31:47.359
 full-time

00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:48.319
 ministry of

00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:48.939
 the gospel

00:31:48.940 --> 00:31:49.960
 where there

00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:50.740
 is a need.

00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:52.080
 And wherever

00:31:52.080 --> 00:31:53.100
 God has a

00:31:53.100 --> 00:31:53.600
 claim upon

00:31:53.600 --> 00:31:54.140
 our lives,

00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:55.580
 then here is

00:31:55.580 --> 00:31:56.240
 the response

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:57.220
 of discipleship.

00:31:58.120 --> 00:31:59.000
 Here am I.

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.759
 Send me.

00:32:01.320 --> 00:32:01.640
 Are you

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:02.100
 willing to

00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:02.799
 go for

 Jesus,

 to speak

00:32:04.460 --> 00:32:05.039
 for Jesus,

 to serve

00:32:06.100 --> 00:32:06.480
 Jesus,

00:32:06.840 --> 00:32:07.299
 and to

 show your

00:32:07.840 --> 00:32:08.600
 appreciation

00:32:08.600 --> 00:32:10.100
 of all that

00:32:10.100 --> 00:32:10.620
 God has

 done for

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:15.400
 by giving

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:16.039
 you that

 dwell in

00:32:18.180 --> 00:32:19.020
 your heart.

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:19.759
 May God

00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:20.020
 bless his

00:32:20.020 --> 00:32:20.180
 word.

00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:20.620
 Let us

00:32:20.620 --> 00:32:20.880
 pray.

 Most

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:23.060
 gracious

00:32:24.360 --> 00:32:24.580
 you.

00:32:25.320 --> 00:32:25.800
 You are

 the God

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:28.180
 Christ.

00:32:28.840 --> 00:32:29.280
 You have

00:32:29.280 --> 00:32:29.780
 given your

00:32:29.780 --> 00:32:30.340
 Son to

00:32:30.340 --> 00:32:30.880

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.340
 Saviour.

00:32:32.040 --> 00:32:32.340
 You have

00:32:32.340 --> 00:32:32.920
 made yourself

 We pray
