SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Ephesians 2:14-15

¹⁴ Christ himself is our peace. He made both Jewish people and those who are not Jews one people. They were separated as if there were a wall between them, but Christ broke down that wall of hate by giving his own body. ¹⁵ The Jewish law had many commands and rules, but Christ ended that law. His purpose was to make the two groups of people become one new people in him and in this way make peace.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 

Father, thank you for freeing me from the burden of complex and burdensome rules.  The wall between you and sinful me is gone, and you have invited me to know you, to know your peace, and to follow you-

 

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE-
