Ephesians 2:14-18
“For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, so making peace; and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.”
This letter, written by the Apostle Paul to believers in Ephesus (a major city in Asia Minor), is part of a larger discussion about the church's identity. Paul explains how God's plan in Christ unites people who were once separated.
What divisions in your own life or community might be challenged by this idea of a 'broken down wall'?
