Jesus is your peace

Eph:
He; Jesus; Himself is our peace; who has ; broken down the middle wall of separation; having abolished in His flesh the enmity; that is the law of commandments; contained in ordinances; so as to create in Himself one new man from the two; thus making peace; and that He might reconcile them both to God; in one body through the cross; thereby putting to death the enmity; And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off; and to those who were near; For through Him we both have access; by one Spirit to the Father;
Now you are no longer strangers; and foreigners; but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God; having been built on the foundation of the apostles; and prophets; Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building; being fitted together; grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place; of God in the Spirit.

Paul was given this grace that he should preach among the Gentiles; the unsearchable riches of Christ; and to make all see what is the fellowship; of the mystery; which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God; who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom; of God might be made known by the church ;to the principalities and powers; in the heavenly places; according to the eternal purpose; which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord; in whom we have boldness; and access; with confidence through faith in Him;
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father; of our Lord Jesus Christ; from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named; that He would grant you; according to the riches of His glory; to be strengthened with might; through His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you; being rooted and grounded in love; may be able to comprehend with all the saints; what is the width and length and depth and height; to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God; Now to Him who is able; to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think; according to the power that works in us; to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus; to all generations; forever and ever. Amen. Respectfully; Parsonsmom.
