Romans 10:15 … The Feet of the Divine<br />
(10/09/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the Good News!”<br />
~ Paul (Romans 10:15)<br />
With regards <strong>to</strong> this particular verse (and indeed any verse that mentions "the<br />
Gospel" or "the Good News" in the New Testament) it is extremely important <strong>to</strong><br />
remember that Paul was primarily concerned with the content of those messages –<br />
content that by & large directly & fully contradicted the teachings of Jesus Christ!<br />
For Paul‟s “Good News” centered upon worshiping Jesus as the only Son of God<br />
(see 1 Corinthians15:1-4 & Romans 1:1-6 & Romans 10:9), while Jesus‟ “Good<br />
News” encouraged us not <strong>to</strong> do so; encouraged us instead <strong>to</strong> attain his “Kingdom<br />
of Heaven” by selflessly extending Love <strong>to</strong> those least deserving of the same (see<br />
Mark 10:18 + Matthew 10:7 + Matthew 24:12-14) … As such, Jesus himself was far<br />
more concerned with the movement of our “feet” and the actions being taken by<br />
our arms than he was with the words coming from our mouths – far more desirous<br />
not that we talk the Humbly-Loving Talk, but that we have the courage <strong>to</strong> boldlyyet-humbly<br />
Walk that most Noble of Ways.<br />
