As these stories of Simon Peter and Isaiah show us, encountering this abundant life—this utter glory and magnificence—can be a terrifying thing, as the holiness of God bears a stark contrast to the dividedness of our hearts. But as these stories go on to show us, if we can bear to meet the gaze of this One who reveals his glory to us, if we can let the burning coal touch our lips, it will not only be our undoing, but it will be our remaking, our transformation, our healing. Sermon from The Table on 2/10/19.
