Ephesians 2:14-16 "For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity."
Christ is our peace and has, as the Apostle Paul describes above, broken down the wall of separation, "the enmity that is the law of commandments contained in the ordinances." The ceremonial sacrifices and ordinances of the first covenant are taken away in Christ. What of, however, the two ordinances given to God's people that are said to be everlasting-circumcision and the Passover. If they are everlasting, where are they in the second covenant? How do we interact with them in Christ. How do they they relate (and they do) to baptism and the Lord's Supper. Today's topical sermon addresses those questions pointing us to the origin and meaning of our two sacraments and who is to be brought to or come to them.
