ONE NEW MAN

EPHESIANS

Ephesians 2: 11 – 13

Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ

Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth

and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the

circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands) —

remember that at that time you were separate from Christ,

excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants

of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But

now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been

brought near by the blood of Christ.


For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one

and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by

setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and

regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new

humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to

reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put

to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who

were far away and peace to those who were near. For through

him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.


Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but

fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his

household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,

with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the

whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy

temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together

to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

“The gospel is this:

We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than

we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time

we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ

than we ever dared hope.”

1 John 4 : 19 - 21

“We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims

to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar.

For whoever does not love their brother and sister,

whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom

they have not seen. And he has given us this

command: Anyone who loves God must also love

their brother and sister.”

Genesis 6 : 5

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the

human race had become on the earth, and that

every inclination of the thoughts of the human

heart was only evil all the time.

Genesis 11 : 1 - 8

Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city,

with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that

we may make a name for ourselves...

...So the Lord scattered them from there over all

the earth, and they stopped building the city. That

is why it was called Babel —because there the Lord

confused the language of the whole world.

Nehemiah 9 : 7

“You are the Lord God, who chose Abram and

brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and

named him Abraham.”

Genesis 17 : 5

No longer will you be called Abram; your name

will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of

many nations.

Matthew 28 : 19

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Spirit...

Romans 1 : 16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is

the power of God that brings salvation to

everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the

Gentile.

Question 1

•Where is the synagogue?

Question 2

•Where do the Gentiles hang out?

Acts 1

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all

together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the

blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and

filled the whole house where they were sitting…

Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing

Jews from every nation under heaven. When they

heard this sound, a crowd came together in

bewilderment, because each one heard their own

language being spoken…

…Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another,

“What does this mean?”

Ephesians 2 : 14

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two

groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the

dividing wall of hostility.

Revelation 5 : 9 - 10

And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its

seals, because you were slain, and with your blood

you purchased for God persons from every tribe

and language and people and nation.

You have made them to be a kingdom and priests

to serve our God, and they will reign on the

earth.”

Matthew 6

This, then, is how you should pray:

‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Isaiah 9 : 6 - 7

For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the greatness of his government and peace

there will be no end.
