Having made peace through the blood of his cross . . .
(Colossians 1:20)
A great many people are trying to make their peace with
God, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all that
we have to do is to enter into it, to accept it. It is a condition, and instead
of our trying to make peace and to work for peace, we want to cease all that,
and simply enter into peace that has been purchased for us.
