Shalomeinu

Thursday, September 30, 2021

Isaiah 53 is one of the most amazingly clear prophecies of Messiah and His death ever given in Hebrew Scripture. One of the verses is particularly powerful. It says, The punishment for our peace fell upon Him. In the original Hebrew, it doesn't say The punishment for our peace. It says the punishment for our shalom. Why is this important? Shalom means a lot more than peace. When you have shalom, you don't just have peace, you have fullness, wholeness, prosperity, and well-being. Messiah didn't die simply so you would have peace. He died so you would have shalom. In Hebrew, it doesn't say our shalom but shalomeinu. It's not two words, but one: our and the shalom can't be separated. It's inconceivable that in Messiah, you should ever be separated from shalom. Messiah didn't die so you would ever be separated from shalom. He died that you and shalom would be together, that it would be inconceivable to ever imagine you without it. So start receiving your shalomeinu, your fullness, your wholeness, and your well-being. It's His gift and it's your shalomeinu.
