Chapter 16


The cleansing power of Christ is available immediately when we repent.  Isaiah testifies that is precisely what happened to him.  In a sacred setting, couched in temple symbols he paints a picture of a personal visit with the Savior in which he (Isaiah) expresses his feelings of unworthiness.  In response Jehovah sends an angel to touch his lips, symbolizing a purging of sin from Isaiah’s life.  We have access to this same cleansing power.  If we humble ourselves and ask the Lord for forgiveness he will do it.  How is it done?  By the power and righteousness of the Great Jehovah who is full of grace and truth.  He speaks to us through his Spirit the comforting words of peace: “Thou art clean.”
