Shalom

Few words in biblical language carry the depth and richness of the Hebrew word "Shalom" (שׁלום). Often translated as "peace," Shalom
encompasses far more than the mere absence of conflict. It signifies completeness, well-being, harmony, and wholeness—a state of flourishing in every dimension of life. From a Christian perspective, Shalom captures the heart of God's redemptive plan for creation and humanity through Jesus Christ.

Shalom is rooted deeply in the Old Testament. In the Garden of Eden, Shalom characterized the perfect harmony Adam and Eve enjoyed with God, each other, and creation. This peace was shattered by the fall, but God's promise of Shalom endured. In Numbers 6:24-26, the priestly blessing invokes Shalom: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace (Shalom)." This blessing encapsulates God's favor and protection, a complete peace that extends beyond mere tranquility.

Under King David's reign, Shalom also represented national peace and prosperity. Psalm 29:11 reflects this: "The Lord gives strength to his
people; the Lord blesses his people with peace." The prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of a Messiah, the Prince of Peace (Sar Shalom), whose government and peace would never end (Isaiah 9:6). This prophecy pointed directly to Jesus, the ultimate bringer of Shalom.

In the New Testament, Jesus fulfills the promise of Shalom. Ephesians 2:14 declares, "For he himself is our peace." Through Jesus' death
and resurrection, God reconciles humanity to Himself, restoring the broken Shalom. Colossians 1:19-20 explains how Jesus' sacrifice brings Shalom: "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood shed on the cross." This reconciliation restores harmony not only between God and humanity but within creation itself.
