In Ephesians 2:11-22, Pauls talks about Jews and Gentiles being reconciled to each other. There was a deep cultural divide between these two people groups that only Christ could heal, but what does this mean for us today? Sin doesn’t just affect our relationships with God: it affects our relationship with others and with ourselves. But through Christ, God has reconciled us to Himself, and He has given us reconciliation with each other. The family of the Church is a living witness to what Jesus did on the cross. Family may be messy, but it’s so worth it.
