He Is Our Peace (Ephesians)

God's big plan, Paul tells the Ephesians, is to unite all things in Christ (Eph 1:10). And as the letter unfolds, it becomes clear that Jesus is not only the centre and goal of that unity, but the one who achieved it‚ on the cross.

He himself is our peace, says Paul. In his death and resurrection, Jesus smashed down all the barriers of sin and hostility that divide us from God and from one another, and freed us to live a new Spirit-filled life of love, thanksgiving and unity.

In He Is Our Peace, well-known British preacher and author David Jackman, is our wise and helpful guide through Paul's majestic letter to the Ephesians.

This Bible study resource is part of our series of Pathway Bible Guides. This series aims to provide simple, straightforward Bible study material for:

• Christians who are new to studying the Bible (perhaps because they've been recently converted or because they have joined a Bible study group for the first time)
• Christians who find other studies (such as the Interactive Bible Studies) too much of a stretch
• groups with limited time for study.

Accordingly, we've designed the studies to be short, straightforward and easy to use, with an uncomplicated vocabulary. At the same time, we've tried to do justice to the passages being studied, and to model good Bible-reading principles. We've tried to be simple without being simplistic; no-nonsense without being no-content.

The questions and answers assume a small group context, but can be easily adapted to suit different situations, such as individual study and one-to-one.

If you wish to share copies of the study with others, or plan to read out the questions or explanatory text to a group, consider a group license. A group license allows for up to 15 copies of a PDF to be shared within one growth group, making it quick and easy to organize. Otherwise, adjust the quantity you're buying to match the number of people participating. Volume discounts still apply to digital files, and these discounts will be automatically applied at checkout.
