Theme for the Week: THE BENEFITS OF JUSTIFICATION: PEACE WITH GOD AND HOPE OF GLORY
Reading: Ephesians 2:14-18
_______________________
Ephesians 2:14 (NKJV)
Christ Our Peace
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,
We cannot talk of the essence of justification without talking about the peace it brought between the Jews and the Gentiles.
Without Christ, the Gentile was seen as an outcast. It is very sad to see Christians of different backgrounds not at peace with each other. The issue of denominationalism is taking root in the body of Christ today, making it difficult for peace to reign.
If we can embrace that the work of the hand is different from that of the eye, but acknowledge that these two need each other, peace will reign in the body of Christ.
He is our peace, so let us not be the ones to prevent Him from reigning in us.
Stay blessed. Shalom.
Let's Pray:
Most blessed, most glorious Lord, we praise Your great name. Through Christ, You reconcile the world to Yourself, so that peace will reign in the hearts of man; may the peace of Christ Jesus reign in us forever. Amen.
