Peace Be Upon You - Shalom Be Upon You
The meaning of Shalom (or Peace):
Shalom (שָׁלוֹם) is a Hebrew word meaning peace, completeness, wholeness, health, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord.
Shalom aleichem (or sholom aleichem) (Hebrew שלום עליכם shālôm ʻalêḵem; Yiddish שלום־עליכם şolem aleyxem) is a greeting version in Hebrew, literally meaning "Peace be upon you." The appropriate response is "Aleichem shalom," or "Upon you be peace."
May peace be upon you. May you be blessed with the blessings of Abraham.
The purpose of starting this blog is to record what I have learnt after hearing the sermons. It is also to consolidate some of my notes in one location for ease of reference and to share with folks who desire to know more about a loving Father God and the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 100:5 (NIV) For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
