Ephesians 2:17 NKJV
And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
Ephesians 2:17 NKJV
Paul revealed the revelation knowledge that he had received. The revelation is that Jesus is the ultimate peace between our relationship with God the Father and mankind, and between all people.
This peace comes from the fruit of Christ's death and resurrection, so that all can be united as ONE. Every tribe, every tongue, every nation, and every diversity in the world can be united as ONE.
For peace to be guaranteed, it can only be held by a person who does not change their opinion, who will not be affected by situation, climate, or economy.
No human person can give that peace except the ONE who came from God and carries God's attributes, and that is Jesus Christ our Lord.
Through Him, in Christ we all can stand united, not as separate people coming together but as one body of Christ doing what needs to be done in all of our differences.
We live and move as His body in every aspect of our society, culture, and our nations. Therefore, unity and peace are not something we try to get. It is who we are because we are in Christ.
We have been made to live and display that perfect peace to the world, where we unite people to the person of Christ, who is the Prince of Peace.
Let us cultivate the peace of God that is within us and let it be a display of the goodness of God that leads people to turn to Christ.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
