EPHESIANS 2:11-22
Hadrian’s Wall is one of Britain’s major ancient tourist attractions. Located in Northern England, it is one of the most remembered achievement of the Roman emperor who came to power in AD 117. As many as 18,000 Roman soldiers manned this 73-mile-long barrier, constructed to keep the northern barbarians from invading the south.
Hadrian is remembered for building a physical wall to keep people out. In contrast, Jesus Christ is remembered for breaking down a spiritual wall so that people can come in.
When the early Church experienced tension between believers of Jewish and Gentile decent, Paul informed them that, through Christ, they stood equally as members of the family of God.
One of the most beautiful aspects of the Christian faith is the unity among those who follow Jesus. By His death on the cross, Christ broke down the barriers that so often separate people and brought us together in true friendship and true love.
Christian unity begins at the cross.
🙏Lord, Your people have so much to do in serving You today. Help us to use our time to share, to love, to unite, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
