Ephesians 2:17-18 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. Jesus disrupted the Jewish culture by showing love and compassion to people outside the accepted norm. His disciples took it even further when they began actively sharing the Gospel with the Gentiles. Paul is stating clearly that in Christ both Jew and Gentile have the same access to Father God. The repetition with which he used seems redundant but in the culture of the day it was still a radical concept.
