**Scripture Reading (KJV)**
Therefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
**Study Summary**
The passage from Ephesians 2:11–22 is a powerful reminder of the transformation that comes through Christ. Before conversion, the Gentiles were considered outsiders, far from the covenant promises and without hope. The term "uncircumcision" highlights their separation from the covenant community of Israel. They were "without Christ," aliens to the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise.
However, the arrival of Christ changed everything. Through His blood, the barriers that once separated Jew and Gentile were broken down. Christ became our peace, making both one and abolishing the enmity that existed between them. This reconciliation was achieved through the cross, where Christ's death abolished the law of commandments contained in ordinances, which had previously separated the two groups.
The passage emphasizes that Christ's work on the cross was not just about individual salvation but also about corporate reconciliation. He came to preach peace to those who were afar off (Gentiles) and to those who were nigh (Jews), bringing them together in one body. Through Christ, both Jews and Gentiles now have access to the Father by one Spirit.
The imagery of being "no more strangers and foreigners" but "fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God" underscores the new identity believers have in Christ. The metaphor of a building or a temple further illustrates how believers are being built together into a holy temple in the Lord, with Christ as the cornerstone. This building is not just a structure but a living entity, growing and expanding as more are added to the faith.
This passage challenges us to see beyond our differences and embrace the unity that Christ has brought. It calls us to live out this unity in our lives and communities, reflecting the peace and reconciliation that Christ has made possible. As believers, we are part of a new creation, a new community where the old divisions no longer hold power. ==========
