BEAUTIFUL FEETIf you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be savedsaved.” How, then, can they callcall on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believebelieve in the one of whom they have not heard?

And how can they hearhear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preachpreach unless they are sentsent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

(Romans 10:9-15 NIV)

Matthew party: Jesus saw a man at his work collecting taxes. His name was Matthew. Jesus said, “Come along with me.” Matthew stood up and followed him. Later when Jesus was eating supper at Matthew's house… a lot of disreputable characters came and joined them. When the Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company, they had a fit, and lit into Jesus’ followers.

BEAUTIFUL FEET

Matthew party: “What kind of example is this from your Teacher, acting cozy with crooks and riff- raff?” Jesus, over-hearing, shot back, “Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? Go figure out what this Scripture means: ‘I’m after mercy, not religion.’ I’m here to invite outsiders, not coddle insiders.” (Mat 9:9-13 Message)
