Isaiah 6

Commentary

This chapter shows the transcendence of God, as He is worshipped by heavenly beings and shakes the temple with His presence. Isaiah's reaction demonstrates the awe-inspiring nature of encountering God, as he recognizes his own sinfulness and need for purification. God's commissioning of Isaiah reminds us of our own responsibility to be messengers of God's truth and grace to those around us. This chapter also foreshadows the coming of Jesus, who will make a way for all people to come into the presence of God without fear.
