God's Holiness, a Revelation of Sin
Isaiah 6:5-8
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the middle of a people of unclean lips…


Like some searchlight flung from a ship over the darkling waters, revealing the dark doings of the enemy away out yonder in the night, the thought of God and His holiness streaming in upon a man's soul, if it is there in any adequate measure, is sure to disclose the heaving waters and the skulking foes that are busy in the dark.

(A. Maclaren, D. D.)
