Text: Ephesians 2:19-22
After revealing how Christ’s death for us has demolished every division between Jew and Gentile, Paul gives us three further analogies to show the ramifications for the people of God. Both Jewish and Gentile Christians are full citizens in His kingdom, cherished children in His family and are living stones in His Temple.
Text: Ephesians 2:11-22
The Jewish/Gentile division is unlike any other, and what is more, God planned for it as He made a distinction between Israel and every other nation on earth, making them His own special people. Yet in Christ, the erected barriers are not merely discouraged but utterly destroyed. In Christ’s cross all racial and social divisions are obliterated forever!
