Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged.

    When we began the service this morning, we read from Isaiah 52 – on the screen behind me is verse 7 (let’s read it together): How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!
