“And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
Luke 9:5 KJV
“And wherever your ministry is rejected, you are to leave that town and shake the dust off your shoes as a testimony before them,” Jesus taught His followers. Shaking the dust off their feet would be a statement against the people who had rejected the Gospel, that the messengers would not be responsible for their fate. This was the custom of the day. But Jesus’s point was not to shake the dust off their feet and stomp off offended and angry, but that they would move on with no defilement or unforgiveness in their hearts towards those who rejected their message. If they kept the dust of offence on them, they would take it to the next place they ministered. Let’s not allow any offence, grudge or unforgiveness to defile our relationship with God and with man. Amen!
