Romans 10:15 … The Feet of the Divine (10/09/16)
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the Good News!” ~ Paul (Romans 10:15)
With regards to this particular verse (and indeed any verse that mentions “the Gospel” or “the Good News” in the New Testament) it is extremely important to remember that Paul was primarily concerned with the content of those messages – content that by & large directly & fully contradicted the teachings of Jesus Christ!
Paul’s “Good News” centered upon worshiping Jesus as the only Son of God (see 1 Corinthians15:1-4 & Romans 1:1-6 & Romans 10:9), while Jesus’ “Good News” encouraged us not to do so; encouraged us instead to attain his “Kingdom of Heaven” by selflessly extending Love to those least deserving of the same (see Mark 10:18 + Matthew 10:7 + Matthew 24:12-14).
As such, Jesus himself was far more concerned with the movement of our “feet” and the actions being taken by our arms than he was with the words coming from our mouths – far more desirous not that we talk the Humbly-Loving Talk, but that we have the courage to boldly-yet-humbly Walk that most Noble of Ways.
