In The LOL with Dr. Sim Taylor
He is our Peace: Luke 2 & John 14
What does it mean to pray for Peace? What Peace did Jesus bring to the world?
The Angels spoke peace and Jesus came into the world (Luke). Jesus left peace and spoke peace to all when he left this world (John).
The Magi gave gifts unto Jesus upon his birth. But Jesus gave gifts to all men. Jesus was able to leave greater gifts unto us: the Holy Ghost, Peace and Salvation. God loves you more and wants to leave with you. Greater gift.
Peace has specific meanings. Peace= Salom (Shalom). Peace is a greeting and also a salutation. You speak peace when you great someone; and you speak peace when you leave someone.
Shalom (Peace) has several meanings:
(1) Shalom was the common friendly greeting, used in asking after the health of anyone; also in farewells (Ge 29:6, "Is it well with him?" ("Is there peace to him?"); 43:23, "Peace be to you"; 43:27, "He asked them of their welfare (of their peace)"; Jud 6:23, "Yahweh said unto him, Peace be unto thee"; 18:15 (the King James Version "saluted him," margin "Hebrew asked him of peace," the Revised Version (British and American) "of his welfare"); Jud 19:20, etc.) (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

What is it that Shalom speaks about? This is what Jesus speaks about:
Matthew 15:29 (Restoration of Health)
John 5:24 (Everlasting life/Tranquil Death)
Shalom in the New Testament is eirene from verb eiro = to join or bind together that which has been separated) literally pictures the binding or joining together again of that which had been separated or divided and thus setting at one again
Luke 2 in the original intent means ‘Peace to men of good will’. In NIV the heralding of the angels indicates “Peace to whom God’s favor rests upon”. Peace comes from the relationship (favor) that we have with God. (John 14:22-3, see also Acts 10:36,) Paul indicated "been justified by faith (and) have peace (eirene) with God through our Lord Jesus." Christ." (Ro 5:1-note)
