It’s Good News, People! | Advent Day 13
Daily Scripture Reading: Romans 10:15
Paul’s words in Romans 10:15 remind us that we have a mission to share the Good News. ‘Beautiful feet’ is a strange phrase, but it represents the importance of those who spread the gospel.
The feet bear our steps, even through difficult conditions. Our call, as Christans, is to be sent by God, to scatter hope, peace, joy, and love across the world.
At the birth hour of Jesus, God’s promise finds fulfillment and the final Good News emerges. The bullhorn announcement to the shepherds declared that the plan of God for salvation was on course. Jesus, our Emmanuel—God with us—has come to save us from our sins, and this is the message we spread.
During Advent, we recall that we, too, are messengers. Our feet may not tread ancient lands, but they do move through our neighborhoods, workplaces, and social circles. In every step, we have the opportunity to share God’s love and truth.
This Advent, dare we accept our mission? Let’s make our feet beautiful with the Good News. The birth of Jesus—light and hope coming into this dark world filled with uncertainty. Let us be poised with all our Christmas preparations to step out in faith.
Ofer a kind word, perform an act of service, or invite someone to learn about Jesus. But whatever it is, Know this Advent season you are part of God’s mission. After all, we are On Mission 365 days a year!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we journey through this Advent season, open our hearts to the incredible news of Jesus’ birth. Thank You for sending Your Son to be our Savior. Help us to embrace our role as messengers of Your love and grace. Give us the courage to share the Good News with those around us, making our feet beautiful in Your sight. May our words and actions reflect Your light in a world that so desperately needs hope. Guide us in every step we take, and let us be instruments of Your peace, joy, and love. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
