Sermons on Ephesians 2:11-18

In Ephesians 2:11-18 we learn of our previous separation from God, His people, and His covenant promises. However, God has done something marvelous in Christ. He has united those who were near (Jews) and those were far off (Gentiles) to Himself in Christ Jesus. As a result of the cross, Christians now have peace with God and peace with all those who are united to Him by faith. God has created one new unified humanity which is the Church. The unity we have as the body of Christ breaks down any walls and barriers that we commonly find in society. In Christ’s Church people of all different kinds now no longer have separation but instead a shared access to God. This is extremely important to remember as we live in a world that is extremely disunified. There is one answer to that disunity and it is the reconciliation with God and one another that is available through Christ Jesus.
