A YOUNG woman was dying. A minister visited her, and after making inquiries about her health, said, “I fear there is not much hope of your recovery.” She replied, “I am told there is none, sir.”
“Well, then,” said he, “have you made your peace with God?”
“No, sir.”
“Do you not think it is time you began to do so?”
She answered, “It was made by Jesus when He died on the cross.”
Reader! have you peace with God? Peace we could not make, ―our sins had separated us from a holy God; but the Lord Jesus Christ “made peace” upon the cross. He shed His precious blood, making full atonement for sin, that He might give peace to all who believe on Him.
“Peace, what a precious sound!
Tell it the world around:
Christ hath made peace!
Our souls are brought to God
By His atoning blood,
And crowned with every good:
Christ hath made peace!”
