Isaiah continues to sing the song of the servant of the Lord. Who is he? He is one with beautiful feet.
Isaiah describes him like this: 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
- Bring good news,
- Proclaim peace,
- Bring good tidings,
- Proclaim salvation
This servant of the Lord will do all this and more.
In the New Testament, Paul uses this verse to describe everyone who speaks God’s message of salvation in Jesus. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Romans 10:13-15)
The text causes me to wonder, “Am I (are you) a person of beautiful feet?” Think about it…
O, Lord God, perform whatever surgery is needed on my life that I become a person with beautiful feet… feet like my Savior, Jesus. Feet that go where You send, bringing peace and good tidings from the Glorious One in Heaven and proclaiming Good News and salvation in Jesus Christ, the Lord. Amen.
