sandal in Luke 3
SAN-dul
This thing shows up in Luke 3:16: “John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Luke 3:16
“John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire,”
What kids can learn
When you hear sandal in Luke, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Luke 3:16 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
