“Jesus Imagination,” by Leonard Sweet (Part 2)

At a certain point in the second half, it felt as though I were reading an autobiography in the form of a devotional diary. It felt like sitting with Len Sweet early in the morning (or maybe late at night), when time slows down and we are in that mystical place between heaven and earth where inspiration and revelation fill us to overflowing.

Revelation 4: Seraphim

In this post I put the scene all together and search the scriptures of other accounts that describe Godโ€™s heavenly throne room.

Isaiah 6: A Burning Coal

The seraphย touched my mouth with it and said, โ€œNow that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.โ€ย Isaiah 6:7 (NRSV)

Isaiah 6: Seraphim and Cherubim

Isaiah was left with the lasting impression of God as sacred and set apart, glorious beyond measure, pure beyond imagining, calling God the Holy One of Israel more than any other writer in the Bible.
