In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: The whole earth is full of his glory.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Introduction
Introduction
· Isaiah 6 describes Isaiah’s experience with God’s holiness. Uzziah odhad been king in Judah for 52 years. He was an effective king in the sense that he had secured the country from its enemies and presided over a time of peace and prosperity. He built a very formidable army, tightened up Judah’s defenses, created economic productivity, and brought great external security. Nevertheless, inwardly the nation was corrupt, defiled, and wretched. Their worship was notoriously superficial.
· As a result, in chapter 5, Isaiah pronounced half a dozen curses on Judah. The people had the illusion that things were going along very well because they had a good leader and were materially prosperous. But in 740 B.C. king Uzziah died of leprosy when God struck him down because of his pride.
· When he died, the nation’s sense of security was immediately gone, and Isaiah sensed a tremendous need to enter in to the presence of God.
· In this passage we 3 realities of meeting God

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: The whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah Met God
These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Look throughout the Gospels when people met God they worshipped Him.
The Wise men, Matthew 2:11
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
The Leper, Matthew 8:2
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
II. When You Meet God You are Humbled by Him
II. When You Meet God You are Humbled by Him
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
III. When You Meet God - You want to Serve Him
III. When You Meet God - You want to Serve Him
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
· He surrendered all.
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
