Read Ephesians 2:11-22.
Throughout the world, Christians continue to break down walls that divide people, inviting them into a relationship with Jesus Christ, who welcomes all people. There are times that we allow barriers to divide us from other believers. Age, appearance, intelligence, political persuasion, economic status, race, and theological perspective are just a few. When these divide, it interrupts Christ’s love from being shared among the people. Fortunately, Christ has knocked those barriers down and provided a way of unification for all believers into the family of God. Christ’s cross should be the focus of our unity. The Holy Spirit helps us look beyond the barriers to the unity we are called to enjoy. Because of Christ, all people are now free to come to God through Christ. God wants to draw us near to him. As Christ draws us close to Him, he also asks us to look for others to embrace as well.
