Ephesians 2:11-18

Ephesians 2:11-18

Paul now transitions from the individual to the church. Paul lays out all that we as the body of Christ have in Christ. We have been brought near by the blood of Jesus. Through the work of Christ in the cross, we have peace and unity. It is through the finished work of Jesus at Calvary that both the Jew and Gentile have become one to the glory of the Father. All of this in Christ.It is beyond our ability to comprehend all that God would do in us and through us as the church, if we would simply surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. May we all live in surrender to the Lordship of Jesus and live in sold out obedience to His word. Who knows what God might do?

Chapter 2
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
