In Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. (Ephesians 2:13-14 NRSV)
If irresistible politics could bring down the Berlin Wall 20 years ago, what walls could resist the power of Christ? Believing that, why do we Christians still have so much trouble with walls of race, nationality, ethnicity, language, economics, class, culture, education, politics, even theology? If we Christians refuse the power of Christ’s irresistible grace, how can we expect our communities and countries to break down the dividing walls of hostility?
