My Peacemaker - II

Ephesians 2:16,17  "And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh." 

Now due to the established fact that Jesus in our peacemaker, we can rest assure that we are no longer alienated from Him. We are no longer separated from Him but are nigh unto Him. Through the precious blood of our personal peacemaking Mediator we have been reconciled to God. Romans 5:10  "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." Jesus lived a sinless life thus making Him the only perfect sacrifice that God would accept. Jesus was slain on the cross so that the enmity we had with God would be slain. The work of the cross was the work of reconciling man with God. Colossians 1:20,21  "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled."  Amen and amen, boy it feels good to be reconciled and at peace with God! What love. What grace. What mercy. What longsuffering the Lord has shown in going out of His way to make reconciliation possible. It cost Him His Son. I'm not sure why He loves me so much but I'm sure glad He does! He sent Jesus to be our peacemaker.  2Corinthians 5:18,19  "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."  There is only one Mediator between man and God and that is Jesus! Jesus, My Peacemaker has reconciled all believers back to God. Jesus the God-man makes it possible for us to have reconciliation with God. Because of Jesus my relationship with God has been restored. Praise God! Listen, my friend, If God be for you who can be against you. If God is by your side (reconciled) then why fear, frown or falter? He is our peacemaker! Now it is our job to go tell others how they too can have reconciliation with God. He has given us "the ministry of reconciliation."  So let's go tell the world the word of reconciliation; Jesus!
