AUGUST 8
Into whatsoever
house ye enter; first say, Peace be to this house.
And
if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon
it: if not, it shall turn to you
again—Luke
10:5,6. |

Each
laborer in the present harvest should note well the
Lord’s instruction in these verses. Wherever the Lord’s
representatives go, peace should go not strife confusion,
turmoil, quarelling. True, the Truth will prove to a sword that
will arouse opposition, yet it should be the Truth that
causes the opposition and division, and not any rudeness
or unkindness of word or action on the part of the
Lord’s representatives. There are plenty of things to
aggravate mankind in this our busy and all who have received the Truth should receive also its
spirit “speaking peace through Jesus
Christ’. |
