People are NOT High and Lifted Up


Transcript

Another one that I think of is in Isaiah, where we are familiar with Isaiah 6, that the Lord is on the throne, high and lifted up. And throughout Isaiah, that pairing of words is used. But it is used in a way to show that people are not high and lifted up.

They have eyes that are high and lifted up, but God will lower them. They have a heart that is high and lifted up, but God will humble them. In Isaiah, there's only one who is high and lifted up. And that's God on the throne, and then the servant, Isaiah 52.

Yeah. And so having the consistency of the language of high and lifted up throughout Isaiah demonstrates that in the end, though people want to be high and lifted up, there is only one, and that is God and His Son. So those are the kinds of things we try to bring out with consistency.
