Shalom Aleichem

Last Sunday, I taught the members to greet one another with this greeting: 'Shalom Aleichem', and the response is: 'Aleichem shalom'. Just imagine when the Shalom of Jesus is with you!

When we think of the word 'Shalom', we think of the word 'peace'. To the world, the word 'peace' means the absence of conflict, wars etc. But when Jesus used the word in John 14:27, He didn't use the word 'peace'; He used the word 'shalom'. The meaning of the word 'shalom' encompasses everything. It means wholeness, prosperity, health, blessing ... you name it! It means much more than the absence of war or conflict.

So greeting one another with 'Shalom Aleichem'
The Jews when they went to the war knowing that Yahweh was with them, they always won! When the shalom of Yahweh is with you, you can expect and experience success in life, and also reigning in life.

Shalom Aleichem!
