THE SHOES OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE

and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”
Ephesians 6:15
The shoes or sandals of Roman soldiers were often fitted with nails or spikes to make them hold firm in the ground and to aid walking on rocks.  They didn’t want to deal with where to step in the middle of a battle. In addition, the weight of the whole armor would make their feet more sensitive without protection.
Shoes allow us to walk without fear on a dangerous journey, so we are  ready to move and spread the gospel to others wherever God calls us to go.  This footwear gives us a firm grip, stability, protection and strength in the good news about Jesus Christ and His plan of salvation and peace.  Peace is our guide and only the gospel gives true, forever peace. Shalom!!
