The Lord High and Lifted Up
It is no coincidence that it was in the year king Uzziah died, that Isaiah saw the Lord. Isaiah loved and respected king Uzziah, and he was generally speaking a good king, but he presumed to approach God himself apart from a mediator, the priest God had ordained. This priest represented Christ and how that no sinner can worship or have favor with the Holy God without Christ, the one Mediator between God and men. 'No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.' For this Uzziah was turned into a leper by God, and remained a leper to his death. In this, God honouring and exalting Christ by striking down Uzziah, God began to reveal Himself to Isaiah so that Isaiah said, 'In the year king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord high and lifted up.' I want to see Him too. Are you interested?
