默想圣经 Meditate on Scripture: 《以赛亚书Isaiah 6: 1-7》
心得：倘若荣耀的主，在异象中向我显现，我第一个反应会是怎样呢？我想我会心惊胆跳，充满战兢。
然而，当以赛亚先知在圣殿中看见主坐在高高的宝座上，荣耀充满全地，其上有六个翅膀的撒拉弗（天使）敬拜祂，彼此呼喊说："圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！万军之耶和华，他的荣光充满全地！"的时候，以赛亚却呐喊地说："祸哉！我灭亡了！因为我是嘴唇不洁的人，又住在嘴唇不洁的民中；又因我眼见大君王万军之耶和华。"
在此，以赛亚在圣洁之主面前，恐惧战兢，自觉污秽最明显的事情，即是“嘴唇不洁”。
从他的回应中使我想起两处经文：
“我们在许多的事上都有过错，假如有人在言语上没有过错，他就是完全的人，也能够控制全身。”（雅3:2，新译本）
“凡人所说的闲话，当审判的日子，必要句句供出来；因为要凭你的话定你为义，也要凭你的话定你有罪。” (太12:
36-37）
试问，有谁在言语上毫无过失呢？即使这么虔诚的以赛亚先知也自觉“嘴唇不洁”，更何况我呢？主啊，求祢怜悯，求祢施恩，洁净我。
感谢主，当以赛亚因见主而而引发自己沉重的罪疚时，其中一位撒拉弗飞到他跟前，用火剪从坛上取出红炭，用炭沾他的口说："看哪，这炭沾了你的嘴，你的罪孽便除掉，你的罪恶就赦免了。"
注：“殿中坛上的火炭，通常覆盖着刚宰杀之羔羊的血，这羔羊的血预示着耶稣的牺牲。当上帝的羔羊死在十架上，我们的罪恶和过犯就归到祂身上（彼得前书2章24节）。” ---取自《灵命日粮》
Insight: If the glorious Lord were appears to me in the vision, what would be my first reaction? I think I will be scared and full of trembling.
However, when the Prophet Isaiah saw the Lord seated on a throne in the temple, the glory filled the earth, and seraphs (angels) with six wings worshipped him and shouted to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." At the time, Isaiah cried, "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."
In front of the Holy Lord, Isaiah was terrified and felt himself very guilty, the most obvious expression is, “I am a man of unclean lips.”
From his response, I am reminded of two scriptures:
“We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what
he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. ” (Jas 3:2)
“But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Mt 12:36-37)
May I ask, who is not at fault in words? Even such a godliness prophet, Isaiah confessed his iniquity, “I am a man of unclean lips.” Then, how about me, Lord? Have mercy on me, Lord. May your grace shine upon me and clean me.
Thank the Lord, when Isaiah caused his own guilt by seeing the Lord, one of the seraphs, flew to him, took a live coal out of the altar with forceps, and touched his mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.” (Isa 6:7, NASB)
Remarks:- “The coals in the temple altar were often covered by the blood of recently-slaughtered lambs that foreshadowed the sacrifice of Jesus. When the Lamb of God died on the cross, our sin and guilt were transferred to Him (1 Peter 2:24). ” ---Taken from <Our Daily Bread>
