Leviticus 9:18 NLT
“Then Aaron slaughtered the bull and the ram for the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.”
The people’s peace offering
Every year on November 11th, North America takes time to honour and remember the courageous soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their countries. This tradition of paying respect to fallen heroes is observed by many countries worldwide, as they recognize that the peace they enjoy is a result of the sacrifices made by those who served before them. Similarly, the Israelites achieved peace through sacrifice, specifically by offering the blood of bulls and rams, as detailed in the referenced scripture. Interestingly, these sacrifices were not a one-time occurrence but must be repeated continually as long as peace was desired.
Thanks to Jesus, the Son of God, we can now experience true peace with God through His sacrifice on the cross at Calvary. However, to fully reap the benefits of this gift, we must approach it with an open heart and mind. Jesus promised that the peace he gives us is unparalleled, and it is up to us to make the most of it. We must be willing to let go of our fears and doubts and trust in the love and grace of God. It is through this trust that we can truly experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray for peace in my life and endeavours through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross at Calvary. Amen.
