The feet anointed for burial by a sinful woman had walked many miles, and into many places of worship.
The feet nailed to a cross had walked through Samaria to bring good news of worship in spirit and truth to another sinful woman whose concept of worship was tied to a mountain.
The nail-scarred feet His followers clung to as they worshipped Him had returned so He could remind them of His example of mission and worship. He came back to commission them to do as he had done, and – before those feet were lifted from among them one last time – to promise He would still be walking with them in Spirit.
For the beautiful feet of His followers bear a message of salvation and praise that is one and the same, just as prophesied many hundreds of years ago:
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” – Isaiah 52:7
I miss seeing all the wonderful feet that you see at church in Africa. Some are old and worn, but that doesn’t keep them from coming. The funny thing is that they are ALL beautiful, because they are HIS. >>Maybe we need to come out of our Rockports more often. 🙂
