We Are All Like

But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
  -- Isaiah 64:6

An often used scripture, but dare we call it popular? The message of the Lord through Isaiah lays out the worst of us as a confession. And this sort of exposure of what rests like a filthy rag in all of us may not become the next popular hit song. Flattery would seem the quicker way to gain popularity. However, for all of the exposure of what we are, Isaiah also bears from the Lord great messages of hope and restoration. One might even gather from the book of Isaiah that we are the problem and the Lord has the answer for us. Wait, that could be said of the entire Bible. God has the answer, and God is the answer in Jesus the Christ.

Great is the saving grace of our Lord!
