Beloved, 

One of the very first greetings spoken by the risen Lord to His disciples was:

“Peace be with you.”  John 20:19

On the evening of the resurrection, when the disciples were gathered in fear behind closed doors, Jesus came and stood among them and spoke those powerful words. It was not a casual greeting, but a deep spiritual declaration — a peace bought at a great price for us all.

“But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5]

The peace Jesus offers us is not the kind the world gives. It is a peace that was secured through the suffering of the cross — a divine transaction where our sin was exchanged for His grace.

All Believers Should Live in Peace & From Peace

As believers, we are not only called to live in peace, but to live from peace — the inner calm and assurance that comes from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” Galatians 5:22]

Greet One Another

It would be good to get into the habit of saying “Peace be with you.” as greeting to all especially the believers. We want to habitually keep the magnificent words and blessing of the real peace” only given in Christ, alive.

Peace be with you always!

May you all in this time of the ascension encounter the Lord through His Holy Spirit in a real and tangible way - taking you deeper into the depths of God.

May you always be carriers of His divine peace.

Then “Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

Bless the Lord.

[These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16.33

And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. Matthew 10.12
