January 6: Isaiah 6:1-13

Questions to Ponder

• What does Isaiah’s vision of the Lord teach us about the Lord’s nature and character (6:1-4)?

• When Isaiah sees the Lord, what does he learn about himself, how does he react, and what does the Lord do about it (6:5-7)?

• Describe Isaiah’s commission (6:8-10), and how it relates to Jesus’ own ministry (Mark 4:10-12; John 12:37- 43).

• When Isaiah asks how long the people will respond negatively, what is the Lord’s answer (6:11-13), and why might it be important for Isaiah to know this right at the start of his prophetic ministry?

• After prayerful consideration, write down a main “take-away” for you from Isaiah 6.
