“And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.” Ephesians 2:17-18 – (ESV)
This verse reminds us that Jesus has made a way for all people to be brought together. At the time He lived on Earth, the significant division for Jews were the non-Jews or Gentiles. We confidently say today that people of all kind have been brought together into the family of God. Our promise today that we focus on is what the verse says about our access to God the Father. This is through Jesus Christ the Son and in the Holy Spirit. When we go to God in prayer we are aware that we do so in the name of Jesus. The Bible promises us that God will hear us and our promise today says specifically that we have access to the Father by the Son who has brought all people together. Again we emphasis this is without respect to ethnicity, race, sex, age or any other distinction that humans make. Racism and supremacy have no place in God's plan. Access is offered to all in one Spirit to the Father through the Son.
