“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus”
(Philippians 4:7 CSB).
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You” (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV).
In the beginning, God and creation were joined together in perfect harmony. Creation was good and in
shalom. Shalom encompasses complete wholeness, peace, and rest. Sin mars the goodness of creation
that God designed, destroys harmony, and results in unrest.
The loss of shalom has come at a great cost resulting in bondage. Our societal bondage manifests itself as
dysfunction, brokenness, and despair both physically and spiritually.
Jesus came to restore shalom by dealing with the disrupting power of sin and opening a way to peace with
God. The peace that passes all understanding comes only through Jesus Christ.
