Sent to Preach Good Things
\nAnd how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
\nbeautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and
\nbring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15<\/p>\n
This passage is quoted from Isaiah 52 and is the beginning of the
\nimmediate context of chapter 53 which tells the good tidings themselves.
\nNamely, how that our Lord Jesus Christ was despised and rejected by us.
\nAnd that He was a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief, and how that
\nHe was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities.
\nIt proclaims the glad tidings that the chastisement of our peace was
\nupon Him and that with His stripes we are healed. He actually and
\neternally healed our souls by His stripes. His sin-atoning death
\naccomplished our salvation. His death was victorious and successful and
\nthose for whom He died obtained eternal redemption thereby (Heb 9:12).
\nYou see why these feet are so beautiful; because they bring tidings of
\nthe sovereign, gracious, almighty Savior Who died for and saved His
\npeople from their sins. The One prophesied of there in Isaiah 52:7 is
\nChrist Himself. He said in Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon
\nme, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel (glad tidings) to
\nthe poor . . . The Apostle Paul correctly uses this prophecy to apply to
\nall of God\u2019s preachers, because we are sent with one message, and it is
\nHis message, the message of Isaiah 53, and the whole Bible. The glad of
\ntidings of Jesus Christ the Lord and what He did for sinners.
