BROUGHT NEAR
Tags: blood, circumcision, communion, hope, Israel, Messianic, outlawed, promise, separated, uncircumcision
Therefore ,remember that at one time
you were heathens in the flesh, called
Uncircumcision by what is called
Circumcision made in the flesh by hands-
Remember that you were at that time
separated (living apart) from Christ
(excluded from all part in Him), utterly
estranged and outlawed from the rights
of Israel as a nation, and strangers with
no share in the sacred compacts of the
Messianic promise with no knowledge
of or right in God’s agreements, His
covenants. And you had no hope
(no promise), you were in the world
without God.
But now in Christ Jesus, you who were
so far away, through the blood of Christ
have been brought near.
(Ephesians 2.11-13)
PRAISE AND MEDITATION
1) At one point in our lives we were
introduced to God and His salvation.
This is the focal point of all our lives.
The reason we were created. To be
in perfect communion with the Father
through His Son, by His Holy Spirit.
2) When we realize how we have been
transformed and have been brought
into this extremely intimate fellowship
with God through the blood of His Son,
we realize how transcendent God’s love
really is.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
