Text: Isaiah 6:8-13

 

We love to quote Isaiah 6:8, “Here I am. Send me.”  It is such a motivating and climactic passage of Scripture, but we must remember that it is not the end of this passage.  God has only drawn Isaiah in to send him back out.  God sends Isaiah to the people of Israel with a message that appears to be bad news.  God is going to purge his people of their sins and though it will appear that there is nothing left a remnant will remain from which life will spring.  We are drawn into a relationship with God to be sent out with the same message.  What God has done in us, to cleanse us from our sin and adopt us as his children, he stands ready to do for everyone who will repent and believe.
