Isaiah 6:7 · KJV
"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."
King James Version
What does Isaiah 6:7 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
During the Lord's Supper, God reminds us that when we eat bread and drink wine, our "guilt has been put away" and "sin has been paid for." The Holy One accomplished something we could never do because of His grace: He offered His own Son as the ideal atonement for our sin. Instead of coming from what we accomplish on earth, purity, righteousness, and perfection come from the One who came from heaven's altar and offered His life so that we may be the righteousness of God (see 2 Cor. 5:21).
Prayer
Dear and loving Father, I appreciate You giving up Your sinless Son to atone for my sins. Use me to spread the word about Your wonderful gift that makes people holy and pure so they may stand before You. I offer You all credit, honor, gratitude, and praise in the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
