<p>10:15 <i>And how shall they preach, unless they are sent? Even as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things</i>- An apostle is a sent one. But the implication is that we are all apostles- grasping the wonder of the salvation possible is of itself the call to preach it. And human need is of itself the call. The prophecy of the Lord Jesus preaching: &ldquo;How beautiful are the feet of <i>him</i> that preaches the Gospel&rdquo; (Nah. 1:15)&nbsp; is quoted here with a subtle change of pronoun: &ldquo;How beautiful are the feet of <i>them</i> that preach&rdquo;. We are the Lord Jesus to this world, because we are brethren in Him. Any who are in Him, having His righteousness imputed to the, counted as Him, must act as Him- and He is the light of the world. So must we be. This alone is a powerful imperative as to who we are, how we speak, the men and women we show ourselves to be. Paul is quoting this Old Testament prophecy about Jesus to prove that we are all &ldquo;sent&rdquo; to preach the Gospel. The validity of our commission to preach is quite simply that Jesus Himself preached; in this way we are all personally &ldquo;sent&rdquo; to preach, simply because He was sent to preach. As the Father sent Him, so He sends us.</p>
