12 Before you believed in Christ, you were separated from him. You were not considered to be citizens of Israel. You were not included in what the covenants promised. You were without hope and without God in the world. 13 At one time you were far away from God. But now you belong to Christ Jesus. He spilled his blood for you. This has brought you near to God. 

Jesus Christ, you are our peace. Because of your death and resurrection, God gives us life even when we are dead in sin. Now we are called to follow you. Help us sing your praise in all that we do and say. 

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
