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… — A young lady went to Rome to study art. Having a great liking for it, she soon became one of the first modellers in the city. While she was busy at work one day a companion called to see her, and began to give a long description of a ball to which she had recently been, and talked of dresses, jewellery, flowers, &c. The young lady turned, and looking at her friend, said, "Be done; I am sick and tired of it. I have gone through and experienced it all myself." And then she added, "Oh, if you could only tell me where I might get rest!" Her companion, a little taken by surprise, hastily left. The young artist sat there wondering where she might find rest. She had secured the praise of man, but that did not satisfy her — she was looking for something higher; and shutting herself in her room that night, she began to think, and as she was thinking a bright thought entered her mind. She rose and brought forth a little Testament which had been lying untouched since a kind friend had given it to her with these words, "Now, mind, if ever you are in trouble, or weary, just open this little book and read, and you will find rest." And now she thought, "I will see if I can find the rest she promised." After she had looked a little her eyes fell on these words in Romans 5:1: "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ." Her eyes rested long on that verse, until at last she found Christ as her Saviour, and obtained rest in Him. 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. |
