In light of the day’s reading, pause to reflect on the specific areas you long to see made new and how Jesus’s ministry calls us to join in that restoration. Let these shape your prayers today.
Jesus brought together sinful people. His ministry tore down dividing walls of hostility between people groups. So we continue His work of reconciliation, toward the promised end when God’s people are one, a multicultural people united in Christ to sing His praises.
After you’ve read, spend some time in prayer about pursuing harmony with other people. Comment/share with the community anything that stood out to you or encouraged you from the reading or your time in prayer.
Amen Terri Baldwin. Imagine if the church universal was know for the love of all people!
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, He is our salvation our peace who tore down the dividing wall of hostility. For circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters is new creation. Those who have been baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ. There is no Jew or Greek, no slave or free, no male or female; since we are all one in Jesus Christ.
Scriptures make us to understand that though the real barriers are unseen, but they can be handled and this is by removing or clearing them off our path Matt. 13:27-28. The good news is that by redemption, every child of God has the authority to clear whatever barrier off his path in life 1Jn. 4:4.
