“Whom Shall I Send?”

By H. A. ST. JOHN

H. A. ST. JOHN

Isaiah had a new view of the Lord and his glory, and he was humbled, and cried out, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.” Then a high and holy ministering angel came to his relief. His lips were touched with a live coal from the heavenly altar, and his iniquity was taken away, and his sin purged. Then it was he heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Isaiah instantly cried out, “Here am I; send me.” Then the Lord told him to go, and he told him what to say and do.

Reader, have you ever had an experience like that? O, how many have unclean lips,—lips defiled by evil speaking, complaining, murmuring, faultfinding, jesting, foolish talking, etc. With zealous repentance tell the Lord, and your iniquity will be purged and taken away. Jesus is the live coal, the only one who can take away sin. Open the door of your heart and let Jesus come in, and you surely will hear the Lord saying, Go here or there; Do this or that; and, filled with the missionary spirit, you will instantly exclaim, Lord, here am I; send me. And he will give you a message, and will say, Go, and I will go with you. Thus will the Lord cut short his work in the earth.
