Vision Of The Lord
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple.” Isaiah 6:1
There is a story about a college professor who visited the Fiji Islands. Being agnostic, he critically remarked to an elderly chief, “You’re a great leader, but it is a pity you have been taken in by those foreign missionaries. They only want to get rich through you. No one believes the Bible anymore. People are tired of the threadbare story of Christ dying on a cross for the sins of mankind. They know better now. I’m sorry you’ve been so foolish as to accept their story.”
The old chief’s eyes flashed as he answered, “See that great rock over there? On it we smashed the heads of our victims.
Notice the furnace next to it? In that oven we formerly roasted the bodies of our enemies.
If it hadn’t been for those good missionaries and the love of Jesus that changed us from cannibals into Christians, you’d never leave this place alive You had better thank the Lord for the Gospel; otherwise we’d already be feasting on you. If it weren’t for the Bible, you’d now be our supper!”
One day we shall see the Lord and we shall worship Him!
“Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.” – John 12:41
