Christ IS Our Peace
Commentators stress that Christ isn't merely a peacemaker; He is our peace. This peace is not something believers create, but a reality established by Christ's work on the cross that we receive. As one scholar notes, our peace with God was "made for me... eighteen hundred years ago." This peace reconciles us both to God and to one another, uniting all believers in Him.
