The word peace is translated Shalom in Hebrew. It means nothing missing and nothing broken. The world and the enemy have a way of breaking us into little pieces. Unfortunately, so many believers think that God is the one who causes pain and brokenness. If we look at the ministry of Jesus, we can see that God’s plan for humanity was that we be healed and whole, and He sent Jesus to accomplish that on the cross. We live in a fallen world, and on an earth that still has a curse on it because of sin, but Jesus blood and His death on the cross made a way for helaing. We have a new dividing line. When the New Covenant was established, the veil was torn in the temple from top to bottom. When Jesus said it is finished, it was. He did all that had to be done to redeem man back to God. The law of sin and death no longer had a hold on believers. Jesus became our Shalom. We read that He is our peace, who has broken down every wall. He came to restore us to the place of wholeness, with nothing mission and nothing broken. He is our peace. We have peace through Him. We can be healed and whole, and live as if the fall of man has no affect on us. That really is pretty amazing. When the enemy tries to break us into pieces, we serve a God who heals and restores. He is our peace. He restores what was missing and fixes what was broken. What a wonderful God we serve, and what a wonderful way to live, in the peace of God. There we are healed and whole, spirit, soul and body, and helping others walk in that same peace that we know.
