No more fratricide

Tuesday July 21st, Ephesians 2: 14-15The Messiah has made things up between us so that we're now together on this, both non-Jewish outsiders and Jewish insiders. He tore down the wall we used to keep each other at a distance. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it and said it was good. After the creation of humanity, we wanted to get into the act and started building things. Mostly what we built were walls. Cain and Able were the first, and we have been at it ever sense, there is a reason the first murder in the Bible is a fratricide. What Christ did is tear down the walls we have created and remind us once again that we are brothers and sisters. We still see the walls, we still believe they are there, but they are just in our imagination and our fear. God called creation good; Christ brought forgiveness, all the distrust is simply humanities fantasy trip. Part of our original sin is that we tend to put asunder that which God has joined together.
