How to have a Gospel pedicure

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” -- Romans 10:14–15 (ESV) Maybe your feet look better then mine, but I would not point to them as my most attractive feature. Paul says that feet can be beautiful, not because they are neatly groomed, polished, or accented. He calls them beautiful because of their ability to carry an important message to those who haven't heard. This week we continue our exploration of Romans 10. In this section Paul tells us what part we play in God's unfolding plan of redemption. It's one that we are often hesitant to carry out. With the knowledge of the gospel and hope of God's saving work, Paul calls us to go and to speak.
