Both Made One

"For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us."  Ephesians 2:14.  A wall is built for the purpose of separation.  The old covenant which had been given to Moses separated the Jew from the Gentile.  But, that wall was broken down in Christ.  A new covenant was sealed by the blood of Jesus which brought both Jew and Gentile into the kingdom of God.  Racial and social lines were dissolved.  The door of God's house, the church, is open to any and all who will enter.  There is no distinction of people in the eyes of the God who has created us.  Neither should there be in our own eyes.  We must see as God sees.  We must embrace as God embraces.  Jesus brings people and hearts together.  Jesus unites.  Jesus frees.  The kingdom of God has but one name for those who enter.  The kingdom of God is one people having one mind and guarded by one purpose in Jesus Christ.
