Do you have beautiful feet? In days of Jesus time on earth, feet were a big deal. Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of the
people walked everywhere, and they didn't have the wonderful shoes we have today, they had open sandals, which after time
left their feet rough, nasty, and dirty. That was why it was proper when entering in someone home, they washed their feet.
BUT, you say what do feet have to do with soul winning? Well, we are told to Go (Mark 16:15), and it takes the action of
our feet to get us there; in other words soul winning (witnessing, sharing your faith, what ever you want to call it) is
not done by sitting around, it takes effort to go. And in the going "our feet" may become rough, scoffed up, and even
appear dirty (metaphorically), but don't despair, Jesus told us to expect tribulation and difficulty. Jesus did not
guarantee us it would always be easy, but did guarantee He would be with us "..alway, even unto the end." (Matt 28:20b).
Of course the Apostle Paul, the other Apostles, and Disciples of Christ were examples of the blessings of God, and the
tribulations of being a proclaimer of the Gospel. BUT, beyond that, God guarantees us "beautiful feet." Do you have
beautiful feet in the eyes of God? Not man's idea of beautiful feet, but God's idea of beautiful feet. Romans 10:15
tell us: "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
In Jesus day, the appearance of someone's feet must have spoke volumes to people about who the person was. If they had
beautiful feet it usually it meant they were of Royalty; riding, or carried around, and their feet washed for them by
servants. Are you that part of the royal family who God looks at and says your feet are so beautiful?
