It has been affectionately called the English moat, our defence against the envy of less happier lands, as William Shakespeare once wrote.
But by the 1980s, this moat had become the choke point the choke point to European trade.
On the 1st of December 1990, after digging both north and south, what could possibly go wrong, British worker Graham Fygg and French worker Philippe Cosette knocked through the final dividing wall of rock and shook hands.
Britain had at last been joined to its most dear enemy.
Well, in Acts we see a similar but a much more significant union than the one I've just described.
Not the physical union of two nations through a tunnel, but the spiritual union of two peoples through faith.
The suspicion, the fear, cultural and religious divisions that had long separated them have now been set aside as both accept Jesus as Lord of all.
That gospel Jesus' good news for the world can cross every barrier and bring together everyone who believes.
That's what Paul later tells the Ephesians, isn't it? Jesus himself is our peace who has made the two groups one and destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.
