Ephesians 2:14-16
“For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby.”
The Apostle Paul wrote this letter to believers in Ephesus, a major Roman city in Asia Minor, likely in the mid-first century CE. In this section, he's celebrating how Jesus's life and death brought together groups of people, specifically Jews and Gentiles, who were previously separated by deeply ingrained religious, cultural, and social barriers.
What 'walls' in our current society might this passage call us to see differently?
