And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

GRATITUDE

Gratitude is the attitude of those who belong to Christ.  He paid the price of our sin.  He saved us and now, together, all who believe in Jesus are united into God’s family, His children, forever.  

APRIL 20 – EPH. 2:13-18

04/20          EPHESIANS 2:13-18

13 But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.

14For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.15 He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. 16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.

17 He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near. 18 Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.

AMEN!
