t Creamed Comments on the Sun- • ’flay School Lesson, “Isaiah's Vis- • ion of the Holy Good,” Isaiah 6:1- !- 10, for Sunday, August 14. The prophet Isaiah, of the tribe of Judah, had a long career from 742 to about 700 8.C., prophesying during the reign of five kings. His are.among the most sub«fime and oft quoted of the prophand nowhere in the Bible do we find sueh distinct pictures of I ,M 9esus. die suffering Messiah. This lesson deals with the account of a great religious experience in which Isaiah received a call to be • a prophet. He was about 30 years Sold at this time. V.l. “In the year that king Uzi ziah died I saw also the Lord sitI ting upon a throne, high and lifted ; up, and his train filled the temj pie.” Uzziah had had a prosper- • ous reign of 52 years, but when J he attempted to usurp the duties I of the high priest, he was stricken

with leprosy, and suddenly the last hope of Israel was gone. Isaiah’s vision of God sitting on hjs heaventhrone probably occured during a great ceremony in tile Temple of Solomon where he may have served as an official of some kind. Because the Hebrews believed that the invisible Yahweh was enthroned on the ark of the covenant in the holy of holies of the Temple, the sight of this object may have induced this vision. V.B. “Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet and with twain he did fly.” The seraphim were mythical creatures believed to be half animal and half human. They were considered to be attendants upon the heavenly king. Four wings were for devotion and two were used for activity. V. 3. “And one cried unto another, and said. Holy, holy,- holy, is the lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” God’s holiness was frequently mentioned by Isaiah. He often referred to God as “The Holy One of Israel.” Two ideas are conveyed in the word “holy” namely, God’s distinction and exaltation above everything earthly and the splendor of his moral perfection. Mention of the word three times relates to the doctrine of the Trinity. V. 4. “And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.” The shaking of the foundations of the thresholds was an evidence of the powerful presence of God. The burning of the incense may have caused the smoke, but smoke in the temple on previous occasions indicated the presence of God. V. 5. “Then said I, Woe is me! for 1 am undone: because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.” Isaiah was overwhelmed with the sense of his own unworthiness, so made a very explicit confession which was a necessary prelude to his forgiveness and cleansing. Isaiah contrasts the divine King who never dies with the earthly king who had just died. V 5.6,7. “Then flew one of the seraphpjns unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: .. . And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips: and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.” Isaiah believed that be was forgiven by the fact that the seraphim took a burning coal from the incense altar, the place of sacrifice for atonement, and burned away his uncleanness. In the old Egyptian religious rites there was a similar ceremony of mouth purification for priests at their ordination, and this may have been carried over into Jewish ritual. Vs.B, 9. “Also I heard! the voice of the Lord, saying. Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me .. . And he said, Go, -and tell this people. Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.” Having been purged. Isaiah is fit to converse with God and to become His spokesman to the people. Isaiah is a willing prophet, unlike Moses and Jeremiah, who hesitated before answering God's call. Isaiah is challenged to prophesy to a people who see and hear, but refuse to understand or. accept the truth. V.lO. “Make the heart of this people fat. and make their eyes heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes; and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert and be healed.” Isaiah felt he must

Ore Praam s There are scales for weighing character. Some people weigh their inner life on the scales of prosperity, social status, power, selfishness, fear, tension. Others weigh their inner lives on the scales of helpfulness, unselfishness, courage, faith, humility. This second group has the right idea of the weight of a life. They are not weighed in the balances and found wanting. W T'’'Ll The Bible often conveys ideas which express helpful suggestions in acquiring serenity in the midst of chaotic times. The following are from the Book of Proverbs: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom.” “She is more precious ’ than rubies.” “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” “He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding. A soft answer tumeth away wrath.” “One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want." “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” , - ♦ ' » - . II I Questions Discussion questions on the Sunday School Lesson, “Isaiah’s Vision of the Holy God,” for Sunday, August 14. 1. To what degree was Isaiah’s worship experience similar to our own worship pattern today? 2. To what extent is a feeling of guilt evident in our time even as Isaiah felt guilty of personal unworthiness and uncleanness? 3. In what sense is every Christian called or commissioned by God for some task? 4. How does Isaiah's concept of God compare with that which Christ has.given us? 5. How do men today “see God?” prophesy to the people even if they Were unreceptive to his message and morally Insnsitive to truths —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission.

Wilf ' i, -—--
When God created man, He intended that be should live hte life protectively and not tea vacuum. Just as with sound reproduction, life must have quality as in high fidelity, and projection as in stereo, in order tor it to be at its best. Jn living, there are two essential parts, devotion and service, and, in order that we Ifoe fully, a balance of the two must be mainteined. It is the projection of our Kfe through these channels which gives depth and meaning to our Christ-like lives. A stereo-phonic system of living is a check and balance system. Devotion alone is as useless as a bass drum solo unless we add the element of sacrificial service to insure a balance in our Christian living. The church helps us have the proper balance and perspective. Why not accept the invitation and come to church next Sunday?
