KEY THEMES:

Christ is Our Peace: Peace is not merely a state or goal but a person, Jesus Christ.

Reconciliation Through the Cross: Christ reconciled us to God and to each other by destroying hostility.

Unity in the Body of Christ: There is no longer division between Jew and Gentile, but have now been united as Christians.

Peace as a Gift to Be Lived Out: Peace is already given—our task is to uncover it and live in light of it.
