Mine Eyes Have Seen...

Isaiah 6

“Mine eyes have seen the King...”

Dreadful, exultant, awesome phrase. 

But the young prince is afraid. It is after all, a dreadful, exultant, and awesome scene that has opened before him. 

Pictures this: (seriously, try.)

The Almighty God seated high on His throne; the Seraphs (literally: “Burning things”) hovering over Him while they shield their own faces; the entire temple, the massive, glorious palace of the Infinite God, trembling to its foundations at the voice of His announcer; the whole glorious place filled with white smoke because the very air must praise Him... And the entire scene wrapped, and filled, and bursting with a soundtrack like you’ve never heard...

Wow. 

But Isaiah didn’t die. Even though he thought he would...

Because those who submit to the work of grace in their lives have another option. 

Transformation. 

That’s the one I want...
