1. My eyes have seen the Lord Almighty (1-7)

When Isaiah felt a crisis after King Uzziah's death because of Israel's inner corruption and neighboring enemies' threat, he went to the temple of God to pray. There, he saw the throne of the Holy, Glorious, Almighty and Sovereign Lord whose kingdom is forever while earthly kings and kingdoms rise and wane. Isaiah realized and confessed what a great sinner he was for not praising God but only worrying and despairing with his lips. But God cleansed his lips and forgave all his sins.

2. Here am I. Send me! (8-13)

Then he heard God's open ended calling, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" Moved by the Holy Spirit, Isaiah immediately volunteered, "Here am I. Send me!" God said, "Go!" God was pleased to send him who knew his heart and was willing to participate in his redemptive history. But his mission would not be easy. The people would never hear his message nor repent "until they are destroyed and go to exile!" But God showed his way of redemptive work: "as the oak leaves stumps, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land." God's work is the work of remnants, beginning with the holy seed, Jesus.
