Shalom

John 14:27- "Jesus said, "I leave you my peace; my peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don't let your hearts be troubled or afraid."

In hebrew, the word shalom means "peace," a wish for good health, freedom from strife, and wholeness. At the Last Supper, Jesus bid his disciples shalom. He bid them peace of mind and heart. This peace was one that the world never knew, or could offer. The world's peace depends on circumstance, Jesus' peace depends on our relationship with Him.

Think of John 14:27 as Jesus' Last Will. This verse tells us of our inheritence. And the wholeness and completeness found in this inheritence is at the heart of true happiness. His happiness.
