Continual Burnt Offering: Daily Meditations, October 21 (2:14)
“For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us” — Ephesians 2:14.
CHRIST Himself, crucified, risen, now exalted to God’s right hand in glory, is our peace. On the cross He made peace by the shedding of His blood. Ere returning to heaven He said “Peace be unto you.” Now, “being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). He undertook to settle the sin-question by making expiation for iniquity. God is satisfied with His finished work. When the Father raised His Son from the dead He bore witness to the perfection of His work. Now the troubled soul looks up to the Throne, by the eye of faith, and sees the Man who was once on the tree, forsaken of God, crowned with honor and glory. He could not be there if the sin-question had not been disposed of. So the believer can exultingly say, “He is my peace.”
