Today, our series: “Jesus, in Every Book of the Bible,” takes us to the Book of Isaiah. The calling of Isaiah, detailed in Isaiah 6, is a significant event in the narrative of salvation, providing insights into God’s plan for humanity. Set against a backdrop of moral decline and political turmoil, Isaiah’s vision of the Lord’s holiness brings into sharp focus God’s sovereignty. Isaiah’s realization of his sinfulness and subsequent cleansing by a seraphim foreshadows Christ’s atoning sacrifice. His willing response to God’s call reflects the Christian journey of accepting grace and participating in God’s mission. This account connects ancient prophecies with their fulfillment in Jesus, emphasizing themes of holiness, atonement, and redemption. Isaiah’s experience is a call for personal transformation and communal participation in spreading the message of salvation, illustrating the continuity between the Old and New Testaments and the transformative power of grace.
