Post #293: One New Man: The Mystery of the Body | KJV Right Division (Week 11)
Post 293 · Day 72-1: Ephesians 2:14-16 – One New Man: The Mystery of the Body
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us... for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.” — Ephesians 2:14-15 KJV
Christ has broken down the dividing wall — the Law that separated Jew from Gentile — and created from the two a single new entity: the one new man. Not a Jewish church, not a Gentile church — one new man that transcends the old categories. This is the Body of Christ.
Right Division: Right Division: The 'middle wall of partition' is the Mosaic Law that separated Israel from the nations. Christ abolished it in His flesh — not for Israel's Kingdom program (which will be reinstated in the Millennium) but for the Body of Christ in the grace age. In the grace age, there is neither Jew nor Greek (Galatians 3:28) — not because ethnicity is erased but because it is irrelevant to Body membership. This is the mystery's social application: perfect equality in one new man.
