Introduction
Summarize:
There are two distinct peoples that are both in full error before God.
Jews and Gentiles have been set against one another since the founding of Israel.
A significant part of our repentance of sin is the joining of the church family.
Exposition
Author: Paul
Audience: All the Saints
Content: Peace is brought from God through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross
Context: We are to be unified in our devotion to Christ.
Comparison: James 4:1-10
Explanation
He Himself is our peace
Transition from v11 “you Gentiles” to OUR and US
who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.
Jew and Gentile were as much at odds as the sinner toward God
How has he removed the divisions?
By abolishing the former law (lit.
“make inoperable”)
The law still exposes sin, but is completed in Jesus
One new man?
Previously the Jew held to the law
The Gentile was unconcerned with the law
This caused division
One new body is in Christ, united by salvation through the cross.
Also, obedient to Christ together, not as a following of the written law, but by work of the Spirit.
Not only is hostility toward one another to be slain, but the hostility between man and God.
Consider Matt 5:9
Our peace with one another is meant to be an evidence of our peace with God.
Application
The cross makes us a people of unity
God stops our warring with a word:
The cross makes us a people of holiness
Jesus during the sermon on the mount addresses: anger, lust, divorce, oaths, retaliation, showing love to the undeserving, praying for your enemies.
He exposes our carnal minds.
The cross makes us a people of prayer
