Verses: Ephesians 2:12-18; Ephesians 2:1; Ephesians 1:13-14
Source: TCOTW

Pastor Jack draws from the true story of Don Richardson’s mission to the Sawi tribe in New Guinea to illuminate Ephesians 2:14 ? “For he is our peace.” He recounts how this savage, cannibalistic people valued treachery as nobility, making Judas the hero of the gospel until Richardson discovered their cultural concept of the “peace child.” This powerful analogy unlocked the gospel message, revealing Jesus as God’s eternal peace child who secures lasting peace with God and one another through His death and resurrection.
