This is God’s love for us that never changes. Hesed: It can be defined as God’s loving kindness, steadfast, covenantal loyal, and faithful love. The Aramaic word for God is אלהא Elāhā ( Biblical Aramaic) and ܐܠܗܐ Alāhā ( Syriac), which comes from the same Proto- Semitic word (* ʾil-) as the Arabic and Hebrew terms Jesus is described in Mark 15:34 as having used the word on the cross, with the ending meaning “my”, when saying, “My God, my God, why hast Thou …Īrabic salām (سَلاَم), Maltese sliem, Hebrew Shalom ( שָׁלוֹם), Ge’ez sälam (ሰላም), Syriac šlama (pronounced Shlama, or Shlomo in the Western Syriac dialect) (ܫܠܡܐ) are cognate Semitic terms for ‘peace’, deriving from a Proto-Semitic *šalām. Root ר-ח-מ is also the one used many times in the Unqelos translation for Hebrew א-ה-ב = love. Within the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, Peace be with you (in Greek: “Εἰρήνη πᾶσι”, in Latin: “Pax vobiscum”) is the initial liturgical greeting by a bishop or priest during divine services. 5 How to say ‘Peace be upon you’ in Aramaic?Īramaic and Classical Syriac use Shlama ‘allāwkhon (ܫܠܡܐ ܥܠܘܟ̣ܘܢ), which means “peace for you”.3 What is the Hebrew word for God’s love?.1 What is peace be with you in Aramaic?.Read past devotionals on the Joseph Prince app. This devotional is from 100 Days of Favor. All these, my friend, are part of your inheritance in Christ today!Ĭan you picture the full implications of what it means to experience Jesus’ shalom in your life? Can you picture your life being free from regrets, anxieties, and worries? How healthy, vibrant, energetic, and strong you will be! Thank Him for this blessing today and start enjoying Jesus’ shalom in every area of your life. Wow, what a powerful word! This is the shalom that Jesus has bequeathed you: His completeness, His safety, His soundness, His welfare, His health, His prosperity, His peace, His quietness, His tranquility, His contentment, His peace in human relationships, His peace with God through the covenant made at the cross, and His peace from war. The Hebrew Lexicon describes “shalom” as completeness, safety, soundness (in body), welfare, health, prosperity, peace, quiet, tranquility, contentment, peace used of human relationships, peace with God especially in our covenant relationship and peace from war. Let’s look at the Brown Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon to get a better idea of what Jesus meant when He said, “Shalom I leave with you.” There is no English word that can accurately encapsulate the fullness, richness and power contained in the word “shalom.” Hence, English Bible translators were only able to translate it as “peace.” But while the word “shalom” includes peace, it means so much more. In the Hebrew vernacular, “shalom” is a very rich and loaded word. Now, Jesus would not have used the word “peace.” The Greek New Testament renders “peace” as eirene, but since Jesus spoke Aramaic-Hebrew, He would have used the word “shalom”-“ Shalom I leave with you, My shalom I give to you not as the world gives do I give to you.” Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). I trust that you are beginning to understand why Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you not as the world gives do I give to you. That’s because these symptoms are brought about by psychological problems such as stress. To put it succinctly, stress kills! Doctors tell us that certain physical symptoms are “psychosomatic” in nature. It can cause you to age prematurely, give you rashes, cause gastric pains and even lead to abnormal growths in your body. Stress can produce all kinds of imbalances in your body. I personally believe that the physical root cause of many medical conditions today is stress. But as doctors, there is one thing that they cannot control in their patients, and that is their patients’ stress levels. They can also advise their patients to cut down on other excesses such as sugar or cholesterol. Medical doctors in my church have told me that if a patient has high blood pressure, they can advise the patient to cut down on sodium. The best way to know if you are embroiled in the things of the world is to be objective and ask yourself this: “Is my heart troubled?” I believe that the number one killer in the modern world is stress.
