The Beauty of Evangelism
Introduction: Do you have beautiful feet?
The Bible tells us in Romans 10:15, “Beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of Peace!”
I’m preaching to you right now and I promise my feet are not beautiful in appearance!!
In fact, feet are some of the least attractive parts of the human body!
There is a lot of people in the world that spend a lot of time and money on their feet to look beautiful.
There is a lot of men and woman who love to go get pedicures where they get their toenail cleaned up and remove all the dead skin from the feet, so they look beautiful.
Some of us however need a spiritual pedicure!
A lot of women also like to get their toenails painted with all different kinds of designs to make their feet look pretty.
But how do we determine what is beautiful??
I read a quote, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
We all see different things as beautiful, while a guy might thing that a big buck, of trophy catfish is beautiful.
A woman might say a Consuela or Louis Vuitton purse is beautiful.
But mankind bases their beauty on things they can see with their own eyes.
A lot of people we read in Scripture who were beautiful in appearance were very wicked people like Absalom, Herodias, Jezebel, Saul, and many others.
In Isaiah 53:2 we read of prophesy of Jesus where there is no beauty that we should desire.
But people would be moved to Him for his love, compassion, message.
Today we are going to look at three things.
First, Beautiful Feet will carry you with the Power of the Gospel.
Second, Beautiful Feet Leads Sinners to the Gate.
Finally, Beautiful Feet Obey the Head!
Thesis: The world looks at beauty as something which can be seen with the eyes; but God teaches us that beauty will be seen in a person as we practice our Good Works.
I. Beautiful Feet will carry you with the Power of the Gospel.
a.
First example we see of Beautiful in NT.
In A bad way!
b.
Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
c.
Beautiful In a good way!
d.
Rom 10:15 “And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
e. Isa 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!”
i. Could you imagine Isaiah feet walking up and down mountains preaching to the people.
They were probably calyst over, yet God says his feet are beautiful.
ii.
When we take the Gospel to the lost; that is the only thing that God mentions is beautiful that we can do.
It of course is not the outside appearance because those taking the Gospel probably have rough feet, but it’s the good works we do with those feet.
iii.
We all know people who are lost in this world, weather it be friends, family, coworker or neighbor.
We must always be ready to take them the Gospel.
iv.
Isaiah was able to predict, more than 700 years before the fact, the glorious, good news of the gospel.
That grand old story is one that never grows old to those who love it!”
v. Eph 6:15 “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.”
vi.
The Gospel brings peace between man and God.
Brings us all together in one body of unity Ephesians 4:4-5
vii.
The world is always striving to have world peace, the Gospel brings enemy nations together in one.
Like Paul said there is no difference between the Jew and Greek.
The Gospel brings us together.
People that hate each other can become brothers and sisters in Christ through the Gospel.
Luke 8:21, “And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.”
viii.
The person who takes the Gospel to the Lost has Beautiful feet in Gods eyes.
II.
Beautiful Feet Leads Sinners to the Gate.
a. Acts 3:1-10
i. Vs 2 Gate of the Temple called Beautiful!
This beggar was carried their daily.
Acts 2:46 we see the first century church would continue daily with one accord in the Temple.
Wouldn’t it be beautiful to gather with the saints every day and praise God still??
ii.
The one thing the beggar needed was God!
iii.
The people would walk by this man daily.
iv.
Peter told the man he did not have money but gives him something better than money can buy.
v. Notice the beggar’s reaction, he was not only walking.
He was leaping, and praising God.
vi.
The people recognized him they only saw him every day as they would walk right past him!
vii.
Vs. 10 They knew it was the beggar who set at the beautifulGate.
viii.
Jesus says in Joh 10:9 “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
ix.
When our beautiful feet lead people to Jesus, we lead them to the gate so that they might be saved and have eternal life.
x.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
xi.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
III.
Beauty Feet Obey the Head.
a. How would you feel if you told your feet to walk and they didn’t move?? Be scary!!
You be mad.
b.
Col 1:18 Jesus “is the head of the body, the church”
c.
Look at Mark 12:29-34 The Great commandment.
d.
However, let’s look at someone who did not obey!
e. in 1 Samuel chapter 15:2-3 God commands Saul to go wipe out the Amalekites and ALL they had.
f.
Look at 1 Samuel 15:13-23, l.
g.
How can we apply this to us today?
