Dividing Wall!

Ephesians 2: 14

¹⁴ For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility…

True peace is finding oneness with another person, or persons.

Can you imagine the kind of peace we could have in the church, if we were ever to become one?

Is it any wonder why nations who have had a peace treaty, never find oneness, or peace.

Maybe if we adapted to the source of our peace, Jesus Christ, we could finally find true oneness.

I have people that come to me all the time, and share with me about a conflict they have with another person.

One thing I find kind of humorous, is that they never start with themselves as maybe being the source of the conflict.

Is it possible that in those cases, the dividing wall of hostility is you?

Could it be that the lack of lasting peace, is the person you look at in the mirror first thing in the morning?

I realize that may take some intense, inner soul searching, but it might be worth the effort in the long run.

Once our attitude is changed, then peace really has a chance.

Maybe before any conflict can be resolved, we might be the first one’s who need to find the peace of Christ…

“Father, thank You that we all have full access to You. Thank You that You give Your grace, only to the humble.

Help us all to believe in the message of Your peace, and help us to use that peace to break down every dividing wall.

Amen.”
