Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:5-8

Isaiah 6:5-8 These verses teach us the essentials of true worship and of acceptable approach to God. And they seem to indicate these essentials as threefold, involving: I. A sense of personal wretchedness. To worship truly, there must be a sense of our own nothingness and need. The sense of wretchedness is first induced by the contemplation of the holiness and majesty of God. It is relieved by the condescension and mercy of the King. He is not only holy. "Mercy and truth meet together;... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:6-8

Isaiah 6:6-8 There must be a relation between prayer and action: between prayer, which is the soul of the inward life; and action, which is the substance of the outward. I. Prayer is the preparation for action. What prayer is to preaching, that is action to prayer, its end and goal. That sermon is successful which makes men pray; that prayer is successful which makes men act. (1) It is necessary to remember that action has a spiritual field as well as an outward. There is an action of the soul,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:8

Isaiah 6:8 I. God often chooses marked seasons for His greatest self-manifestations; makes individual souls associate eventful days with their own more personal history. It was so with Isaiah. In that memorable year, naturally speaking, he himself was to see God. II. It is the sight of the King which works conviction. One half-hour of Divine communion, one resolute determined entering of the Holy of Holies, that we may see the Lord seated upon His throne, and the holy angels veiling face and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:8-10

Isaiah 6:8-10 I. This, in all seeming, was the thankless office to which Isaiah was called, to be heard, to be listened to, by some with contempt, by others with seeming respect, and to leave things in the main worse than he found them. His office was towards those, in part at least, who were ever hearing, never doing, and so never understanding. The more they heard and saw, the farther they were from understanding, from being converted, from the reach of healing. And what said the prophet?... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 6:8

DISCOURSE: 867A MISSIONARY SPIRIT DESCRIBEDIsaiah 6:8. I heard the nice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.IN former ages, God was well pleased to reveal his will to men, sometimes in dreams, and sometimes in visions, and sometimes by an audible voice, like that of a man conversing with his friend: and these methods were more especially vouchsafed when he was about to devolve on them any particular office, or to employ them on any... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:1-13

By Chuck SmithShall we turn now in our Bibles to Isaiah, chapter 6, as Isaiah records for us his commissioning by God for his ministry. Now you remember in chapter 1 that Isaiah tells us that his time of prophecy extended through the kingdom or through the kings of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. As we pointed out, it is thought that he was put to death by the evil son of Hezekiah, Manasseh. But his call to his ministry as a prophet is given to us in chapter 6, and it so happened that it... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 6:1-13

The excellence of the prophet’s labours during the war with Pekah and Rezin, seems to be the cause why this vision occupies but a secondary place. God gave it to console the church on the death of so great and good a king as Uzziah. It shows his divine commission to be a prophet, and with the brightest seals of his mission. Moses produced his credentials in Egypt, and Paul in addressing his epistles to the gentiles. Isaiah 6:1 . I saw also, or I then saw the LORD. The Hebrew is Adonai, as... read more

Isaiah 6:5-8Then said I, Woe is me!--The moral history of a rising soul; or, the way up from depravity to holinessWhilst holiness is the normal, depravity is the actual state of man.A restoration to his spiritual condition is his profoundest necessity. What is the path of the soul up from the depths of depravity to those sunny heights of holiness where unfallen spirits live an exultant life? I. A VISION OF THE GREAT RULER AS THE HOLIEST OF BEINGS. Three facts show this. 1. There can be no... read more

Isaiah 6:8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send?--Messengers wantedI. THE PERSON WANTED, as described in the questions, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” The person wanted is viewed from two points. The person wanted has a Divine side: “Whom shall I send?” Then he has a human aspect: “Who will go for Us?” But the two meet together--the human and Divine unite in the last words, “for Us.” Here is a man, nothing more than a man of human instincts, but clad through... read more
