Chris.
God is the Master of Reconciliation. He sent His Son Jesus Christ so that through His finished work on the Cross we can be reconciled to God. God has made us messengers of Reconciliation. God also wants there to be, through Christ, Reconciliation between True Believers from Jewish and Gentile backgrounds.
