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 (Col. 1:2020And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. (Colossians 1:20)). He shed His precious blood, making full atonement for sins, that He might give peace to all who believe on Him.
“Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5 I).
“Behold the Lamb” enthroned on high!
“He is our peace.”
In Him we are to God brought nigh;
“He is our peace.”
He who on Calvary’s cross has bled;
He who was numbered with the dead;
Exalted now o’er all as Head;
“He is our peace.”
“Complete in Him” at God’s right hand;
“He is our peace.”
Before the throne we boldly stand;
“He is our peace.”
The blood-besprinkled mercy-seat;
His pierced side, His hands, His feet;
Proclaim redemption’s work complete;
“He is our peace.”
