改變生命的實體敬拜 (關國瑞牧師)
其實不管我們在哪裡敬拜，神都一樣可以改變我們的生命，不過既然神設立了教會，我們當然很高興可以回到教會來進行實體的敬拜。我以前剛信主的時候，很羨慕那些信耶穌的人可以到禮拜堂敬拜，我覺得可以到禮拜堂敬拜是一種恩典，每次的敬拜都讓我生命得以改變。只要我們每次敬拜都能充分地預備，為自己、為講員禱告，一定能有所得著、不枉此行。在今天的經文中，我們看到以賽亞參加了一次改變生命的實體敬拜，「藉著看得見的景象，啟示神看不見的心意。」
我又聽見主的聲音說 :「我可以差遣誰呢？ 誰肯為我們去呢？」我說：「我在這裡，請差遣我！」每次內心的感動，也該帶出回應的行動。神不一定使用有能力的人，但一定讓肯被衪使用的人有能力！
以賽亞書6:1-8 (和合本)
- 當烏西雅王崩的那年，我見主坐在高高的寶座上。他的衣裳垂下，遮滿聖殿。
- 其上有撒拉弗侍立，各有六個翅膀：用兩個翅膀遮臉，兩個翅膀遮腳，兩個翅膀飛翔；
- 彼此呼喊說：聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！萬軍之耶和華；他的榮光充滿全地！
- 因呼喊者的聲音，門檻的根基震動，殿充滿了煙雲。
- 那時我說：禍哉！我滅亡了！因為我是嘴唇不潔的人，又住在嘴唇不潔的民中，又因我眼見大君王─萬軍之耶和華。
- 有一撒拉弗飛到我跟前，手裡拿著紅炭，是用火剪從壇上取下來的，
- 將炭沾我的口，說：看哪，這炭沾了你的嘴，你的罪孽便除掉，你的罪惡就赦免了。
- 我又聽見主的聲音說：我可以差遣誰呢？誰肯為我們去呢？我說：我在這裡，請差遣我！
Isaiah 6:1-8 (NIV)
- In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
- Above him were seraphim, 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.”
- At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
- “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
- Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
- With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
- Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
