Isaiah 6
Thank you for continuing this journey of The Gospel Project®
for Kids. During the next four weeks, preschoolers will learn about the
prophet Isaiah and his message of the coming Messiah. This Sunday’s
Bible account focuses on Isaiah’s calling by God to prophesy to the
Southern Kingdom of Judah.
In
the year King Uzziah of Judah died, Isaiah was worshiping God in the
temple when he had a vision. Isaiah saw God sitting on a throne. God’s
robe was long; its edges filled the temple. Seraphim—heavenly beings,
each with six wings—stood above Him, calling out “Holy, holy, holy is
the Lord!” The magnitude of God’s holiness made Isaiah realize the
magnitude of his own sin. His response? “Woe is me!” A seraph touched
Isaiah’s lips with a piece of coal, an outward sign of God removing
Isaiah’s sin and preparing Isaiah for the next step. Isaiah would
eagerly take God’s message of hope and the coming Messiah to the people.
God
extended His grace to Isaiah and took away Isaiah’s guilt. God passed
over Isaiah’s sins because He was going to send Jesus to pay for them.
In His death on the cross, Jesus paid for the sins—past, present, and
future—of those who would trust in Him. When we trust in Jesus, God says
to us, “Your guilt is taken away. Your sin is atoned for.”
