(Jesus speaking) “I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!” (John 14:27)

I’m pretty sure that all of us know that the word ‘Peace’ is spoken all over the Middle East as an idiom for either hello or goodbye. This got me thinking, what did Jesus really mean by it?

Google tells me that Shalom is a Hebrew word that means harmony, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility.

His ‘promise’ is to leave us with his true ‘Peace’ and that because we have his ‘Peace’ then we shouldn’t be troubled in our hearts – we should live courageously, trusting always in His Awesome Goodness. ❤️
