God Breaks Down the Barriers Between Us
For 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. Ephesians 2:14
In our sinful state, there was a barrier between us and God. But through Jesus, that barrier has been torn down. We no longer need to feel separated from God because of our imperfections. Jesus has given us full access to the Father through His sacrifice. No matter what you’ve done, no matter how far you feel from God, He has already removed every obstacle that could keep you from His love.
Through prayer God calls us into His presence to experience His peace of reconciliation. Jesus’s blood was shed so that we can be reconciled together to God, and that God loves us and forgives us and makes us secure and holy, together, by the cross of Christ. That’s who we really are. As soon as we forget who we really are, we define ourselves in some other way. So we need to keep coming back to the cross of Christ. Because it’s in his death that the walls are broken down.
Prayer for today: Lord, thank , thank You for breaking down every barrier that once kept me from You. Help me to experience the fullness of Your presence. Amen.
