I Saw The Lord: A Glimpse of the Holiness of God

In this week’s message, Bro. Gary Ubando explores Isaiah 6:1-7 to remind us of God’s unshakeable sovereignty even when our earthly world crumbles. By examining the absolute holiness of God, this message confronts the deep depravity of the human condition and points directly to the radical, cleansing grace found in Christ’s sacrifice. Listeners are challenged to stop focusing on shifting worldly securities and instead fix their eyes on the eternal King who remains securely on His throne.

Isaiah 6:1–7

6:1 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. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:

  “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
  the whole earth is full of his glory!”

And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
