HE IS OUR PEACE

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 middle wall of partitionbetween 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.  Ephesians 2:13,14,15 Jew and Gentiles are reconciled to God in Christ Jesus.  Jew and Gentile make up the glorious body, the bride of Christ, the new Jerusalem.  No longer is there condemnation.  No longer is there the strife over the law.  No longer is there division--but peace. 

Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.And this man shall b the peace, when the Assyrians shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight pricipal men.  Micah 5:1,4,5

Today, let us thank God for Peace and for the anointed shepherds God has placed in this role.
