For He is Himself our peace, our bond
of unity and harmony. He has made
us both Jew and Gentile one body,
and has broken down, destroyed, abolished
the hostile dividing wall between us.
By abolishing in His own crucified flesh
the enmity caused by the Law with its decrees
and ordinances (which he annuled), that He
from the two might create in himself one
new human (one new quality of humanity out
of the two), so making peace.
(Ephesians 2.14 and 15).
POINTS FOR PRAISE AND MEDITATION
1) Jesus Christ is our peace.
He is the way, the truth and the life.
He is our wisdom. He is the resurrection
and the life. He is also our peace.
2) The wall of separation that existed
under the old covenant no longer
exists under the new covenant.
The barrier is no longer there.
Belief in Jesus Christ allows entering into
the covenant made possible by His
blood. This covenant is made with better,
much greater and everlasting promises.
HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS!
