Peace

by David Long

"And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father" (Eph. 2:16-18). True peace is found in the one body of Christ, which is the church of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). This is the the cure for the divisions in our society. Reconciliation happens in the one body of Christ. There is no reconciliation outside the body of Christ. Blessed are the peacemakers (Matt. 5:9). What kind of peace? The kind peace talked about in Eph. 2. That's the only peace that matters.
