Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Jesus has GIGANTIC SHOES! At least if you read the Bible's account of them. Amazingly, all four gospels comment about how fantastic Jesus' shoe wear is. Think about that. Of all the things to put in the Bible, God made space in a sense to have room to talk about Jesus' shoes!
We find out about the style of the shoe-wear. We find out about the straps. We find out about their VALUE, particularly in comparison. In comparison to what? No. In comparison to WHO. John the Baptist can't say it in enough ways, "I am not worthy to carry. I am not worthy to untie. I am not worthy to bend down and touch them." Essentially the gospels say that "Jesus' pinkie toe is greater than John the Baptist. Quit worrying about who John the Baptist is and refocus on the Great One whose SHOEs are gigantic, special and valuable."
This isn't shoe-worship. This is the OWNER OF THE SHOE worship. What is special about these sandals is WHOSE SANDALS they are. He's the one to worship. We might look to His shoes for just a second, and value Him, that is WORSHIP Him for who He is.
What a HOOT. Thanks for listening.
