Christ Jesus, Is Our One True Peace Offering
Our Lord, broke down the barrier between us and God, our Father.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility. (Ephesians 2:14, ESV)
Meaning behind Ephesians 2:14.
Jesus, Himself, is our peace offering. Breaking down all barriers and obstacles between mankind, God Almighty and each other.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:28, ESV)
Our Lord, Christ Jesus, has rightly been called the “Prince of Peace.” Jesus reconciles us with our heavenly Father. He brings peace with God to all faithful believers. He also unites all believers as one family under God.
Understanding the full impact on our lives of Jesus as our peace offering.
The Hebrew word for “peace offering” is “shelamim”, with its literal meaning of “peace in all its completeness.”
This is a peace that means far more than peace of mind. Or, the temporary absence of daily stress and struggle. God’s divine and everlasting peace, covers all areas of our life. Our Lord’s miraculous peace covers us. Peace, in all its completeness, envelops us in God’s love.
