For Christ is our living peace. He has made a unity of the conflicting elements of Jew and Gentile by breaking down the barrier which lay between us.

For he reconciled both to God by the sacrifice of one body on the cross, and by this act made utterly irrelevant the antagonism between them.

Instead of continuing with two groups of people separated by centuries of animosity and suspicion, he created a new kind of human being, a fresh start for everybody.
