Kadosh: Responding to God's Holiness
We’re thrilled to announce the release of our latest episode on Lyric and Letter, where we invite you to take a unique journey through the Scriptures, guided by none other than the Apostle John. In Ep 43 - Kadosh (“The Response (Holy)” by Grace Worship Collective), we explore the profound call to respond to God’s holiness—His kadosh—a Hebrew word that signifies His set-apartness, His uniqueness, and His purity.
This episode isn’t just an exploration of a beautiful worship song; it’s a guided tour through the depths of Scripture. Imagine walking alongside John, the beloved disciple, as he recounts the visions he received in Revelation and connects them to the ancient prophecies of the Old Testament. Together, we uncover the rich biblical imagery embedded in “The Response (Holy)” and discover how it draws us into a deeper understanding of Christ’s majesty.
What to Expect in This Episode:
A Guided Tour with John: Join us as the Apostle John leads us through the imagery of Christ as both the Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slain. These powerful symbols, deeply rooted in Scripture, reveal the full nature of Jesus and connect the prophecies of the Old Testament with their fulfillment in the New Testament. We’ll explore passages from Genesis, Isaiah, Revelation, and more, gaining fresh insights along the way.
Entering the Worship of Heaven: With John as our guide, we’re invited to step into the ongoing worship that fills heaven. The song “The Response (Holy)” echoes the scenes of worship described in Revelation, where countless angels and all of creation lift their voices in praise. This episode helps us connect with that eternal worship, reminding us that our own lives and songs are part of a much larger chorus glorifying God.
Anticipating Christ’s Return: As we walk through the Scriptures, John helps us reflect on the powerful promise of Christ’s return. We delve into the prophecies that speak of the day when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. By tying together Old Testament prophecies and New Testament revelations, we gain a fuller understanding of this future day and its significance for our lives today.
Responding to God’s Holiness: Finally, we discuss how to live in response to God’s kadosh. Worship is more than words or songs—it’s the offering of our entire lives. This episode challenges us to consider how we can live as a holy, pleasing sacrifice to God, in light of His overwhelming greatness. With John’s guidance, we’re called to examine our own lives and align our hearts with the eternal worship that surrounds God’s throne.
