What has Christ done to unite people as one in him? What is Christ’s “Good News of peace to all” (verse 17)? Pray God of unity and love, I thank you for calling me to be a member of your family. With a grateful heart for living in union with Christ Jesus, I thank and praise you for Christ’s “Good News of peace to all.” Tomorrow’s Reading Ephesians 3:1-13: The apostle Paul describes his mission to the Gentiles.
