“How beautiful are the feet [of Him whom God sent to] bring glad tidings of good things!” (Rom. 10:1515And 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! (Romans 10:15)). “Behold My hands and My feet” (Luke 24:3939Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. (Luke 24:39)). John views Him and exclaims, “Behold  ... [the] shoes of His feet I am not worthy to loose” (Acts 13:2525And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. (Acts 13:25)). “A woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment” (Luke 7:37-3837And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. (Luke 7:37‑38)). “They went out to see  ... and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus” (Luke 8:3535Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. (Luke 8:35)). “Mary  ... also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard His word” (Luke 10:3939And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. (Luke 10:39)). Do all behold Him and take a respectful, adoring place at His feet? With pain our Lord must say of those who crucified Him, “They pierced My hands and My feet.  ... They look and stare upon Me” (Psa. 22:16-1716For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. (Psalm 22:16‑17)). As we come into the Lord’s presence, may we heed what the Lord said to Moses, “Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground” (Acts 7:3333Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. (Acts 7:33)).
