I Saw The Lord

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. his...: or, the skirts thereof - Isaiah 6:1

    To see the Lord Jesus Christ in a vision as Isaiah did, surely would be a wonder to behold. The vision refers to the exaltation of Christ, after his humiliation here on earth. Although we do not see him in a vision, we see him exactly as Isaiah did; On the throne of his glory, high and lifted up, worshipped by the innumerable company of saints being accompanied by the host of heaven.

    We see him by faith in his glorious reign, as he is revealed in his Word by the preaching of the Gospel. For the child of God to see him as he is, initiates worship and adoration. Peace and comfort flows from him to us like a river, because we see ourselves gathered there with him. His love, mercy, grace, and omnipotence presides over all his loved ones to their good, to the destruction of every foe, and to his glory. Because he is there and we are there with him, everything will be all right. Every one of his sheep sees him exactly the same, because he is the same—Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Heb 13:8).

    We see him having accomplished eternal redemption for us, having purchased us with his own blood, having put away our sin by the sacrifice of himself, having raised from the dead proving our justification, having ascended to the throne of his glory ever living to make intercession for us. The sight of him there assures our hearts before him here.

    The believer’s desire is to see the Lord, and he has promised to give us the desire of our heart. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple (Ps 27:4). Of all the wonders there are to behold there is nothing that compares to beholding the Lamb in the midst of the throne. How do you see the Lord?
