Shod (feet). (Luke 15:22, Eph 6:15). In Ephesians, the “preparation of the gospel of peace” is another way of saying that by which the fulfillments of the PW were prepared in the Old Covenant in God’s foreknowledge. This is not a shoe made by humans, but it entirely transcendent.
The evangelist is to protect the knowledge of Christ in the Word by his learning of the Old Testament revelation. The spiritual shoe protects the evangelist’s foot (the point of God’s Word in contact with the world, the moral demeanor and life of the believer, God’s supernatural motivation) is a spiritual device that preserves his moral walk, but a morality through belief in the prophetic gospel and its evangelism. It preserves the means of the Word’s transport, the impetus of divine motivation so that it is not weakened or worn down by the friction of its contact with a corrupt world religious paradigm (see Mark 4).
In the Parable of the Prodigal Son, there is another application, although comparatively minor.
Luke 15:22 (KJV) But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
The ring is sonship with the Father by faith in Jesus of the Prophets. The robe is his righteousness given for this by the Father for such particular faith. The shoes are the divine protective protection from the wounding effects to the World of the spiritual foot of motivation and morality of the Messiahs’s prophetic Truth.
