Isaiah Saw The Lord
Fred Lowery
Isaiah 6:1-9
Intro. Let us first note that Isaiah is not a politician running for something, but a statesman who stood for something.

(3)He saw Himself through God's eyes: "Woe is me for I am unclean." Oh that we might be able to see ourselves as God sees us. Oh, that we could see our church as God sees it.
