Having made peace with God through his own sacrifice, how does Jesus envision his followers moving forward? Jesus sees us as one humanity. All divisions, distinctions, barriers, and whatever else the human heart may attempt, are made null and void. In Christ we are one.
In Paul's day the focus was upon unity between his Jewish brethren and the gentile believers who had come to God through Jesus. The Covenant of Moses at Sinai stood between the two groups, which is why God as its original author chose to set it aside in the New Covenant.
