Apostle Paul, in Romans 10, reveals God’s heart and plan for both Israel and the Gentile nations. His desire is not only for the Gentiles to receive the gift of salvation through Christ, but also for the people of Israel to come to faith. Paul declares that salvation is available to all – there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile. He highlights the divine calling to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every person. As a servant and apostle sent by God, Paul sees it as his sacred duty to preach the gospel of peace and bring the glad tidings of Christ to all humanity. Apostle Paul quoted the Isaiah 52:7 “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” to remind the people about the purpose of the messenger of God.

Similarly, we are all servants in the sense that we are called by God to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone. When God looks at His servants, He sees something beautiful – not because of appearance, talent, or eloquence, but because of obedience. Scripture tells us that the feet of those who carry the Gospel are beautiful. Why feet? Because they represent movement, mission, and willingness to go wherever God sends. Our value to God is seen not in staying still, but in stepping forward. In Isaiah’s time, messengers sprinted across mountains to deliver news. Their feet would be dirty, cracked, sore – yet God said those feet were “beautiful.” What made them beautiful? The message they carried.

Today, every believer is called to bring good news: hope to the discouraged, peace to the anxious, salvation to the lost, and the grace and love of Christ to every heart.

Our steps matter.

Where we go, Christ goes.

Where we walk, the Gospel walks.

Paul reminds us: “How shall they preach, except they be sent?” We are not just wandering through life – we are sent by God into our workplace, our family, our community, even our ordinary daily tasks. Every interaction becomes an opportunity to reflect Christ. Every conversation is a chance to shine His light. We are part of the movement of the Body of Christ – its feet. Feet cannot walk in darkness. Even beautiful feet need guidance. That’s why the Psalmist declares: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path”. Psalm 119:105. God’s Word does not always show the entire journey, but it always shows the next step.

When we read the Bible, the Lord lights our path:

• He keeps us from stumbling.

• He directs us away from sin.

• He strengthens us when the road is long.

• He leads us to people who need Him.

The messenger must stay in the light to carry the message of Light.

When God’s Word lights the path and we walk in obedience, every step becomes a message of hope, peace and joy. As the hymn says, “Onward, Christian soldiers!”
