"Peace, The AntidoteTo Hostility"`(Pt. 2)_Eph. 2:13-18

In this weeks episode we delve further into the concept of peace

We find that 'God's Peace' can not truly be known without experiencing it, as one old preacher said 'It is better felt than telt'

SONG: 'Come Rest' -Band Reeves

Weary heart I know you’re tired How long will you listen to the devil's lies My yoke is easy My burden is light So give me yours and you can take mine Come to me all you who labor and heavy laden Lay your burden on my shoulders And rest Come find my peace once again I’ll take your heavy load your troubled soul in my arms forever strong As you rest Come rest You’ve carried the weight far too long Why would you try to do it on your own I know every sin I know every stain And it’s all been washed away

Isaiah 9:6-7 Christ the Prince of Peace

3 Mentions of the word PEACE in this passage

In this passage the Jew & Gentile peoples were made ONE by the work of Christ

Peace x 3

vs. 14 He IS OUR Peace

vs. 15 He MADE/CREATED Peace

vs. 17 He PROCLAIMED/PREACHED Peace

There is a Process to obtain Peace

There is a Means of 'laying HOLD OF Peace'

Peace is synonymous with ONENESS

Peace is not just signing a treaty, laying down arms...etc..It is True Harmony In Relationship

A Person can not make/obtain Peace with others till they are at Peace with ABBA

Peace a Process...

• The middle wall of Hostility was 'made inoperative' by the sacrifice of Christ
• ONE 'New Man' was created from the Jews & Gentiles
• BOTH Jews/Gentiles = reconciled to God

Hostility is always about a DEMAND...Like I have been wronged, I want my rights...YET Jesus met the DEMAND of Hostility by His sacrifice on the Cross
