For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall or partition between us (Ephesians 2:14).
This is not only one of the most beautiful texts in the Bible, but one of the most important. Consider what it says. First, that God is our peace; next, that not only are we and God one (all spiritual teachers say that) but that it is He who has made us one. We are one because that is the nature of being since He has made us that way. Then the inspired writer uses a figure of speech. He reminds us that when we lost our sense of unity with God, it is exactly as though a wall was built between God and ourselves. When that happens communication is broken and we are no longer one in consciousness, until, of course, the wall is pulled down.
In any difficulty the one important thing is to have the temporary wall of partition pulled down, and to let God do it for only He can.
This passage identifies one of the seminal foundations upon on which the Garden Morning Garden is built; and by which its soils are enriched. When we first separated ourselves from God, we fled the Eden God gave us, and the East Gate was closed to those living “East of Eden” or separated from God.
Essential to Jesus’ dispensation, was that He became the opening in that wall at the East Gate. He left His and God’s Holy Spirit within us, That reunion ended our long exile and separation from God. God’s Holy Spirit, reunited to us and within us; and God’s law, now written in our hearts; are the keys that open the East Gate to the Edens that God created for us.
Now it is we who guard the gate and we who chose whether to enter and live there. The Middle Wall of Partition has been pulled down.
Amen! (Definition: An affirmation meaning “so be it”)
