Psalm 72 is a Messianic Psalm, which speaks of Christ’s reign in history as the victorious Messiah, with the extension of his kingdom throughout the world.
Two verses from that Psalm are engraved on the outside of the Peace Tower – verses 1 and 8. Verse 8, of course, is Canada’s motto: “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea.”
Noteworthily, the lives of those who fought and those who fought and died for us to live a peaceful nation today echo what Christ did 2,000 years ago. That was the same way Jesus laid down His life to save from sin, all who would believe in Him.
The Biblical legacy left behind by our heroes reminds us of the Christian context that surrounded Canada’s foundation and is reflected on our most iconic symbols – our most respected war memorial, Canada’s Parliament Buildings, the Tower of Peace, and Victory.
I hope we all know…; our country will be a better place if we all live like Jesus and do what He says.
