Reminders of the gospel that was preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, that you may hold fast to the word preached to you.
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. Isaiah 6:1-7.
Ryan Bush:Christ presents us unto God. He presents us as acquitted from guilt, adorned with his righteousness, united to himself in so near a relation as if to reject us or to reject him. He presents us as free from whatever might exasperate justice, provoke wrath, or render us in our prayers the least bit unacceptable. No filthy garments, nothing in our person so presented can prejudice our petitions. This was typified by the high priest carrying the names of all the tribes on his breast into the holy of holies. He presents us to his father as the travail of his soul, as though he should say, behold, I and the children whom thou hast given me. He presents us as those who are as dear to him as his own spouse. David Clarkson.
