Daily Vitamin - "Peace"

Peace

John 20:19-23(NASB) So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.“If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”

Peace, in Hebrew means Shalom, which has a lot of meanings hello, goodbye, more than enough, complete, rest, whole etc.... We use the word to descibe a feeling, a state of mind. Jesus used it here as a reminder to His disciples, even in the mist of trouble He said Peace be with you an action. Then He breathed on them and said recieve the Holy Spirit. So we could say that the Holy Spirit is "Peace" The word Peace has so many meanings it can be action, feeling, greetings, I believe a person!! So today embrace Peace with a whole heart. Even in the midst of troubles you can have complete peace with-out fear.

Peace is a lot more than a greeting or a felling, it's action! Take Peace with you and be a blessing today, Sir Gregory
