Ephesians #11
![Ephesians #11](https://basictraining.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Ephesians.jpg)
Eph 2:1-10 the work of Christ to reconcile; Eph 2:11-22 practical effect of reconciliation. Gentiles were far off - aliens from Israel. Privileges come from citizenship (Phi 3:20). "Far off" and "near" are contrasts Hebrew Rabbis often made between Jews and Gentiles. Eph 2:13 we're brought near by the blood of Jesus Christ. Eph 2:14 He is our Peace -- the condition for relations and fellowship (Rom 5:1, Phi 4:6-7). Barriers were removed between God and man, but also Jew an Gentile; God has no superior children (Isa 57:19, Eph 2:14-18). Lost sheep parable shows God's attitude toward repentance (Mat 18:12-24, James 4:6). Eph 2:19-22 uses analogies for relationships in Christ's body: citizens, family, building (1Co 3:10-15).
