“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.”
In a world filled with division and conflict, we look to Christ’s promise of a “new humanity” where there will be unity and lasting peace.
Through the redemptive work of Christ on the cross, not only have we been reconciled to God the Father — we have also been reconciled to one another. Christ Himself has become the reason for our peace with one another.
As the people of God, are we modelling such peace in the Body as the Word of God has instructed? We are called to make every effort to protect our unity.
Where possible, seek reconciliation today. Remember that we can forgive because we have first been forgiven.
