Enmity - The Cause of Party Lines

People sometimes say that in order to have reconciliation, one of the two parties must decide to just let go of their position solely for the sake of unity – one party needs to suck it up. But all of us know that this method really doesn't bring true reconciliation or true peace. How could it? We would just be saying, "'Peace! Peace!' when there is no peace," right? Furthermore, Ephesians 2 says nothing about achieving peace and reconciliation this way. It says that what brings about reconciliation between two parties is the cross. It says that by the cross Jesus abolished the enmity, that is, the law of commandments in ordinances. In this study, we look into what the enmity, the law contained in ordinances, refers to, and how the cross of Christ abolished it.
