“The Gentiles have become fellow heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” (Ephesians 3: 6)

For the Jewish people, circumcision is a symbol of being a part of God’s chosen people. However, by His offering upon the cross Christ has established a new covenant, not only with Jews but with all mankind. Christ offered up his life completely to bridge the distance between God and men.

God is forever faithful; he did not abandon the Jewish people because of their infidelity. Rather, he bestowed grace upon grace so that his promise of salvation may spread across the world.

As the heirs to the grace of Christ, we should be, unto each other, just as St. Paul says: without differentiating between Gentiles or Jews, slaves or free, we are all brothers and sisters. Love one another – this is the golden rule of Christian life.
