Reflections Along the Jesus Way
November 16, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“In God’s kingdom, creation is in harmony, even as God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, dwells in perfect harmony. God’s kingdom is not a temporary cease-fire. God’s kingdom is not a provisional agreement to refrain from hostilities. The perfection and eternity of God’s kingdom is all of creation glorifying God with one voice, like a symphony of orchestral instruments uniting their sounds, joined by a choir of many voices all singing the same words at the same time.
The Hebrew word for peace is shalom – its meaning is of completion and fulness. Shalom is holistic – it speaks of harmony, tranquility, serenity and well-being. It has to do with joy and delight.
When shalom is used as a verb it means a restoration of things and people who are apart, broken and hostile. Shalom has to do with transformation and of a new creation. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Jesus is the Shalom of God. Jesus himself is our peace.”
