Beautiful Feet and Good News1:17 – 6:33

1:17

For lesson number one, How Beautiful Upon the Mountains from Isaiah fifty-two.

1:23

The truth of this lesson, we can bring others the good news of Jesus Christ, live in a way that honors His message, and trust Him to help us as we share it.

1:34

That's the destination of our lesson.

1:36

Sometimes we hear the words share the gospel, and we immediately start worrying about what we're supposed to say.

1:42

What if I don't know enough? What if somebody asks a question that I can't answer? Isaiah gives us a beautiful way to think about this responsibility to share.

1:52

We have good news to carry, news about peace, salvation, and a God who reigns.

1:59

Somewhere in the lives of the people that we teach, there may be somebody who needs to hear that news from them.

2:05

What gives me a fire in the bones for this lesson is, is helping our students to recognize that they've got something that's worth sharing, and that the Lord will help them to share it.

2:17

What should the teacher know for this lesson? Let's take a closer look at verses seven through twelve.

2:22

And in these verses, Isaiah pictures the joy of announcing Zion's redemption.

2:26

There's a messenger on the mountains, watchmen raising their voices, and even the waste places of Jerusalem being invited to sing.

2:35

Why all the celebration? It's because the Lord has comforted and redeemed His people.

2:40

He reigns.

2:41

That's the news that the messenger is carrying.

2:45

And so verse seven says, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, 'Thy God reigneth.'" Now, feet aren't usually the first thing that we think about when we hear the word beautiful.

3:07

But Isaiah wants us to think about what the feet are doing.

3:11

They're carrying a messenger with news that people desperately want to hear and need to hear.

3:18

Isaiah lived in a time before cell phones and instant messages and a twenty-four-hour news cycle.

3:23

If important news needed to travel, somebody had to physically carry it.

3:29

So picture, uh, uh, people of a city waiting for word of a victory.

3:34

Then a messenger appears on the horizon, and they're carrying the news that they've been hoping for.

3:41

How would they feel about that person's arrival? Those dusty, tired feet would be a beautiful sight.

3:50

And that's the connection that I would want my students to make with this lesson.

3:54

What makes the feet beautiful is the message.

3:57

Gospel means good news.
