Chapter 21: He Is Our Peace

Peace is a complicated word in the world. In the NT, there are two words for peace. The first if Jesus. In Ephesians 2, there are 5 ways that Jesus is peace.

  1. Jesus makes one humanity.
  2. Jesus makes us one body.
  3. We have access to the Father through one Spirit, the Holy Spirit.
  4. Jesus makes us one household.
  5. Jesus makes one temple.

The other word for peace in the NT is church.
