The Greek gods and goddesses worshiped thousands of years ago were portrayed as better, more powerful versions of humanity. They could still be capricious, and full of the same vices found in man. Not so with the God of the Bible. It is easy to see throughout the narrative of Scripture that God is unlike us. He is holy-set apart, completely other. God Himself is the very definition of what is good, beautiful, and right. His person invokes awe in those who observe it. In today's message from Isaiah 48, Pastor Rich lays out the holiness- the otherness- of God, along with a challenge for us to consider.

Do we view God as simply a larger, better version of ourselves? Are we guilty of treating him as common? May God enlighten our hearts to the beauty and greatness of Himself today.
