At The Personalist Project: The Sandals of Whatever

I snarked on Facebook earlier this week that everybody loves to talk about the shield of faith and the sword of the spirit, but we don’t talk about the sandals of the gospel of peace. That’s a shame, because it’s the only item mentioned in that passage from Ephesians that has anything to do with active interactions with other people.

The entire passage is defensive in context–the breastplate, shield, helmet, etc. are protections meant, not to aid in conquering, but to help the Christian to “withstand” and “stand firm” against the evil one. But we are instructed to put on our feet “whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.”

Truth. Righteousness. Faith. Salvation. The Spirit and the Word of God. And the shoes of whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.
