The Cross - He is our Peace # 28

 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.  And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.  For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. So says the apostle Paul to the Ephesians in the his letter. (Eph 2:14-18 NKJV)
  In the latter to the Romans he says, "make your bodies a living sacrifice."  Today we talk abou being one body and individually members one of another. Jesus has broken down the wall of division beteen people and nations.
