For He is our peace, the one who made both groups into one and who destroyed the middle wall of partition, the hostility. Ephesians 2:14

Ephesians chapter 2 verse 13 spoke of Jesus bringing us near to Him, by His blood. The blood symbolises the cross and His finished work; all that He did for us: His propitiatory punishment, subsequent death and resurrection. All these had taken place, before it was mentioned that He is our peace. Before you can fully recognise Jesus as your peace and fully enjoy the attached benefits, you have to be aware that Jesus is your substitute and He paid the price on your behalf.

If your mind is fixed on how to improve your moral character and behaviour in a bid to please God, the more you deny yourself of the benefit of experiencing this peace. God swore that, He will never be angry with you and His kindess will never leave you, that His covenant of peace will not be moved (Isaiah 54:9-10). This promise comes after Isaiah chapter 53, which spoke of the death Jesus was going to face. So, what precedes the peace that we have, is Jesus' sacrifice.

Be assured that Jesus has paid the price for all that you need; He has become your peace. He left no stone unturned, for He declared while hanging on the. tree, "it is finished". That punishment, the payment for your peace, was put upon Him. The devil tries at every point to get your heart to be worried, but if you can still your heart, by fixing your attention on Jesus and what He did, your heart will feel and experience the supernatural peace of our Saviour Christ Jesus.
*To be continued*

Prayer: My heart is fixed on Your sacrifice, Jesus. I experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' name.
