Ephesians
2:11-22
For he himself is our peace, who
has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing
wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed
in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place
of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in
one body through the cross, thereby killing the
hostility.
Every gender divide.
Every racial divide.
Every economic divide.
Every religious divide.
Every parental divide.
Every neighborly divide.
Every vocational divide.
Every marital divide.
Every sexual divide.
Every political divide.
Every national divide.
Every church divide.
Every psychological
divide.
Every single divide has been
destroyed by the peace that Christ has offered both parties through
is body making reconciliation through his broken body and through
the blood of the cross. And here we are bickering, fighting,
name calling, throwing bombs on the other side, demanding our
rights and that we are right. Paul refuses to let the miraculous go
unsaid. The miracle of Jews and Gentiles breaking bread. The
miracle of zealots and tax collectors washing feet. The miracle of
men and women serving and submitting to one another in the new
humanity. Join us as we worship the Christ who has broken down the
dividing walls of hostility!
