Yechezk’el 36:26-27 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside you; I will take the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put my spirit inside you and cause you to live by my laws, respect my rulings and obey them.

Jews and gentiles are to be one in the Messiah, not two separate entities. We, Jews and ‘Christians’ alike often put this new humanity in a box limiting our ability to live and move and have our being according to the price Messiah paid on the cross.

Ephesians 2:13-19 but now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah’s blood. 14 for he himself is our shalom, he has made us both one and has broken down the m’chitzah which divided us by destroying in his own body the enmity occasioned by the Torah, with its commands set forth in the form of ordinances. He did this in order to create in union with himself from the two groups a single new humanity and thus make shalom, in order to be reconciled to God both in a single body by being executed on a stake as a criminal and thus in himself killing that enmity.17 also, when he came, he announced as good news shalom to you far off and shalom to those nearby, news that through Him we both have access in one spirit to the father. 19 so then you are no longer foreigners and strangers. On the contrary, you are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s family.

Shalom to all!
