EPHESIANS 2:16-22 BUILD YOURSELVES WITH CHRIST AS CORNER STONE

S -Ephesians 2:16-22New International Version (NIV)

16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.


O / A - The Lord has put to death the hostility between Jews and Gentiles through the cross. He preached peace to all. Through Christ alone we have access to God, the father and we who were foreigners are now in the family of God. We belong to the same structure with Christ as cornerstone, apostles and prophets as foundation and each one of us joined together into the same building which becomes temple of God.

P - Abba Father, Thank you for your blessed verses. You desire unity among your children. You have broken down all barriers through your death on the cross. Help us not to create barriers again among us based on human criterias. Enable us to overcome this and develop love among each other as brothers and sisters of the same household. Help us build ourselves with you as the cornerstone.
In Jesus matchless name
Amen
