But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 2:13 Go To Ephesians 2
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
He reminds us that we were brought close to God by the blood of Christ in order to show how great is God’s affection toward us, since he allowed his own Son to die. We too, enduring in faith, should not yield to despair in any of the agonies inflicted on us for his sake, knowing that what he deserves from us exceeds all that our enemies can bring upon us.
