May 16th -- Isaiah 6 A Man of Unclean Lips |
||||||||||||||
Whenever God has chosen men for some great duty and has prepared them for it by the vision of His holiness, their complete unfitness for divine use has been realized: "I am a man of unclean lips," said Isaiah, when he had heard the three-fold acclamation of God's holiness. This was not because he was base or depraved; on the contrary he was a "holy man of God" chosen to be the channel of the most outstanding revelations of the Messiah. And not only did he realize his own uncleanness of lip, but he felt also that his race, his people, were likewise unclean: "And I dwell in the midst of an unclean people." The sin-conscious man is aware of his oneness with his fellows as members of a sin-enthralled race. John Carter, The Letter to the Galatians, page 71 |
