Christ the Peace of the Believer

Scripture

KJV

Now in Christ Jesus ye who sometime were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace.

ESV

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.

Ephesians 2:13-14

Poem

"He is our peace"—for by his blood

Sinners are reconciled to God;

Sweet harmony is now restored,

And man beloved, and God adored.
