For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall. Ephesians 2:14
Before Jesus came, there was a wall between the Jews and Gentiles. It kept the two groups separate and divided from God. Jesus died to tear down all the walls and bring salvation to everyone. Years ago, many business would "red line" their community. Inside those red lines on the map were people they didn't wish in their business. They were automatically excluded. There is no place for such thinking in His church. Let's be thankful that we are an "open range" fellowship, open and welcome to all. Let's not let anyone fence us in. The gospel is for all.
