Isaiah 52:7 (NIV)
"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Mountains surround Jerusalem. A messenger coming to the city would have to cross over the rugged terrain and descend to the city. Watchmen would have been posted along the city walls to watch for attack (ref. Isaiah 52:8). They would have been the first to see the feet of a messenger crossing over the mountains. Isaiah speaks about the beauty of those who bring good news.
We send letters and messages to share news, tell about events, or let someone know we are thinking of them. However, the most important message that can truly change lives is the message of salvation and peace that comes through Jesus. Like the messengers who would cross the mountains of Jerusalem, today, messengers are needed to share this crucial news. Will you share His message?
