Why did Jesus come into the world? To save from sins, redeem us, heal us. All true. However Jesus says in John 17:3 “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent”.
Blaise Pascal, the famous physicist and theologian said: God made us in his image and we returned the compliment.
And our God becomes as bound up, limited, impotent and untrustworthy as we are. Oh that we would see God as he is.
We are fallen people, living in a fallen, fractured, tainted world. Our brightest and whitest are a dingy grey compared with our original design and creation. Everything we know and see is tainted. Creation, in it’s magnificence, is tainted and a shadow of its former beauty. So we become accustomed and comfortable with imperfection.
- So we don’t expect all knowledge from our teachers. We know they can make mistakes.
- we don’t expect complete honesty from our politicians. We know they lie. Spin dioctors. quickly forgive and vote again
- don’t expect complete truthfulness from advertising. We are always looking for the catch, the trick, the con.
- We don’t expect complete trustworthiness from anybody.
And then we come to God. The God who is revealed as Holy. Wherever God has revealed himself to man, he has revealed himself as holy.
We use underline, italics, parenthasis to show importance or stand out. Jews used repetition. Truly, truly or Peter, Peter.
Only one attriubute of God that is taken to the superlative level. not just repeated, tripled. Not God is love, love love, mercy mercy mercy or grace, grace, grace, but,
Holy, Holy Holy
- Isaiah 6:3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
- Revelation 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”
Is your God majestic? Majestic means august, splendid, magnificent, regal, royal, kingly, imperial.
majesty means supreme greatness or authority; sovereignty
Isaiah 6:4 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. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
Uzziah was a king who had trusted in God, but in his success became proud and self confident.
But when King Uzziah died, Isaiah saw the Lord.
If you want to see God for who he is, King U-Ziah has to die and the Holy, majestic God will be revealed in your life.
Is your God majestic? Or are you the supreme authority in your life?
If he is not majesty, then your God is a God of your own making, fashioned and fabricated how you want him.
2. To be set apart.
He is not of this world. His holiness is that characteristic that sets him apart from his creation. That sets him apart from us.
Holiness is that which makes God.
AW Tozer said, God’s holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable.
Great that God is your friend. What a friend we have in Jesus
But don’t reduce him to less than he is, because sometimes you will be in a place, in a challenge, in an impossible situation, and your not looking for a friend, your looking for a God
3. Holy means utterly and totally perfect in purity.
He is absolutely holy with an infinite, incomprehensible fullness of purity that is incapable of being other than it is.
And he expects perfection. He says Be holy, as I am holy.
- Nothing we can do is good enough to be called holy, to meet that standard.
- Nothing we can give can buy this holiness, its not for sale.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus, the holy one, who gave his holy, perfect, majestic, set apart life as a sacrifice, as an offering, shed his blood, for our imperfections, for our sin, for our impurity, for our wrong doing, for our mistakes, for our regrets. So that we maybe holy in his sight
Ephesians 1:4-7 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
