What happens before we can genuinely say to God, “Here am I. Send me”?
In Isaiah 6, the prophet encounters the Lord “high and lifted up.” Seeing God’s holiness changes the way Isaiah sees himself. He recognizes his sin, confesses his need, receives God’s cleansing grace, and only then hears the Lord ask, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”
His answer is simple and powerful:
“Here am I! Send me.”
In “The God Who Cleanses and Calls,” guest pastor Chad Shapiro challenges us not to settle for simply going through the motions of Christianity. Following Jesus means continually seeing God for who He is, honestly acknowledging where we need His cleansing, receiving the grace He provides, and becoming available for whatever He calls us to do.
The message gives us a helpful pattern for the Christian life:
See God. Confess sin. Receive grace. Accept the mission.
Chad also explores how Isaiah points forward to Jesus Christ—the One who came to bear our sin and provide the forgiveness we could never accomplish for ourselves. God’s grace doesn’t merely cleanse us from the past; it prepares us to live faithfully in the present. Pasted text
Whether God is calling you to encourage a neighbor, disciple someone, serve your church, share Christ with a friend, forgive, teach, give, or simply become more available to Him, the question of Isaiah 6 still deserves our response:
“Whom shall I send?”
