Verse 6

THE FADING LEAF

‘We all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.’

Isaiah 64:6

I. Lessons of the falling leaf.

( a) It is a picture of man’s insignificance on the face of God’s world.

( b) It is a picture of the inherent decay of man.

( c) It is a picture of the inevitable fate of man.

( d) It is a picture of the universal fate of man.

II. Look at the figure of the falling leaf as solemnised by the thought of sin.

( a) Sin has made the departure of man premature.

( b) Sin has made man’s departure from this world a violent one.

( c) Sin has given to man’s departure from this world a dark and terrible fear for the future.
