Ephesians 2:11-13

King James Version (KJV)



11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.


11Therefore remember, that in time past you being Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by those who are called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands, 12That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world, 13But now in Christ Jesus you who sometime were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

11 The Jewish born looked down on the Gentiles because they were not circumcised and not children of Abraham. The Gentiles came to Christ and He made them clean, the Jews thought they were clean because of the law but their hearts were very unclean because they rejected Christ as Lord.

12 We are without hope if we did not have Jesus, there was a time before we had Him as Lord and we only received hope because us crying out unto the Lord and then receiving Him. The Jews had blessing from God because they were children of Abraham but they rejected the greatest blessing Jesus Christ, we are blessed because of Him as Gentiles.

13 Because of Jesus we can come and have fellowship with god by the blood covering our sins from Jesus dying on the cross and us receiving forgiveness because of it. We have a restored relationship with Him one that is free us burnt offerings and Passover lambs because He was our final Passover lamb. His blood can cover all sin. We are made free from sin by Him. Sin keeps us from fellowshipping with God because God hates sin but our sins are forgotten by God because they are under the blood, for those who have received Him.
