       Re-reading verse 19: “For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” And there it is. That’s what was just being discussed. That’s the church. Those who have been reconciled into relationship with God. It’s also the physical elements, those of Heaven, and those of the earth. Physicality. Humans as well as the creation have been brought into peace with God by the blood Jesus shed on the cross. This contrasts with the relationship with God that existed in the Old Testament, where sins had to be atoned for every so often with animal sacrifices, where there was a veil in the temple of God that represented the separation between God and mankind. It could also be inferred from this that there is peace between the Jews and Gentiles, in that God accepts both as his children.
