Proverbs 6:28 (Mini Sermon)

---

 

28. Pro 6:28 - "Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?" A. Solomon asks a second similar rhetorical question for emphasis. B. The answer is of course the same: "no." C. If a man walks on hot coals, his feet are going to be burned. i. Burns are painful for a long time after the initial burn. ii. Burnt feet are especially painful every time a man has to walk anywhere. D. The Christian life is referred to as a "walk" (Col 2:6; Col 4:5). i. The man who commits adultery will greatly hinder his Christian walk as the remaining verses of the chapter show (Pro 6:29-35). ii. He will be left with scars and sores on his feet that will make him limp for the rest of his life.
