Christian Age Leviticus 3:1-17 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female… When Russia was in one of her great wars the suffering of the soldiers had been long and bitter, and they were waiting for the end of the strife. One day a messenger in great excitement ran among the tents of the army shouting, "Peace! peace!" The sentinel on guard asked, "Who says 'Peace '?" And the sick soldier turned on his hospital mattress and asked, "Who says 'Peace'?" And all up and down the encampment of the Russians went the question, "Who says, 'Peace'?" Then the messenger responded, "The Czar says 'Peace.'" That was enough. That meant going home. That meant the war was over. No more wounds and no more long marches. So to-day, as one of the Lord's messengers, I move through this great encampment of souls and cry, "Peace between earth and heaven! Peace between God and man! Peace between your repenting soul and a pardoning Lord!" It you ask me, "Who says 'Peace'?" I answer, "Christ our King declares it." "My peace I give unto you"! "The peace of God that passeth all understanding." (Christian Age.) Parallel Verses KJV: And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. |
