Jesus Makes Us One

From our series "Ephesians." As we learn how the Gospel story transforms our stories, Paul makes the message personal for the Ephesian church. Jewish and non-Jewish Christians worshiped together, as one new family, but treating folks from different cultures as brothers and sisters is harder than it sounds–even though Christ has already united us on the cross through his blood. Sometimes, in our deeply broken world, this truth feels impossible to live out. Thankfully, we've been given the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. And He empowers us to be the peacemakers Jesus calls us to be.
