Let’s Explore….The Shoes Of Readiness and Peace

“…and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:15

The shoes worn by the Roman warrior generally came in the “sandal” variety.
They had thick leather soles that were studded with small nails to provide stability in hand–to–hand combat.
The sandals came up above the ankle and were held securely to the foot by extensive leather straps.
To survive cold weather climates, soldiers would fill the sandal with heavy wool or fur before lacing up.
In some cases, Roman commanders would wear an early version of a boot.
It had a thick leather sole and was either split down the front or on each side to allow entry.
Straps were sewn to the back and wrapped up the leg to hold the boot securely.
Application: Jesus Is Our Preparation and Peace

Without his sandals, a soldier would not be prepared to fight and could be easily defeated.
Paul tells us that our preparation for battle is the gospel (good news) of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.
The work of Jesus here on earth brought us peace with God.
This reconciliation through Jesus allows us to fight with boldness, confidence, perseverance, and peace.
