How do we know Christ is the peace between God and humanity?
Answered in 1 source
Christ is referred to as our peace in scripture, fulfilling the role of mediator between God and humanity.
The title 'Our Peace' encompasses the theological understanding that Jesus Christ mediates between God and humanity. In the sermon, Christ is likened to Solomon, whose name means peace. Just as Solomon symbolizes peace in the Old Testament, Christ embodies peace, reconciling sinners to God through His sacrifice. Ephesians 2:14 states that He Himself is our peace, not only bringing a cessation of hostility but also restoring a relationship with God. This profound truth assures believers that through faith in Christ, they are no longer estranged from God, but rather embraced as His children, highlighting the importance of Christ’s redemptive work.
