Contents
Shalom! Follow it out loud.
Shalom!
Shalom is the greeting of the people of the nation of Israel.
See you in the morning shalom, meet at lunch shalom, meet in the evening shalom,
Passing the alley and meeting each other, shalom, even when parting, shalom,
Even when daddy goes away on a business trip, mom and children look at you
Shalom, the departing father, shalom to the family who will remain! Shalom!
I did.
Everyone, please follow along again, Shalom!
Why did the Israelites love and like the greeting shalom so much?
would you? Today I am going to teach you why.
Once you know why, you'll love Shalom too.
And you too, shalom, shalom, would like to say hello.
Looking at the scriptures I read to you today,
Thousands of angel soldiers and choirs of angels who descended from all those who live on earth
Say hello to shalom.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth with whom he is pleased
Peace among men"----"Peace" is shalom.
Today's story takes place on the first Christmas day.
God, who made man with his own hands, borrowed a human body to be just like a man.
He was born into this world as a baby. The sky and the earth and the mountains and the sea
Who made the sun, the moon and the stars, many kinds of cots, animals, fish, and people
God is now born into this world as a human being. this baby's name
What? --- Jesus Christ!
On the day this baby was born, why did so many heavenly angels come to this earth?
Would you come down and say "Shalom" to our people?
In fact, this first Christmas day was a bloody day.
I heard a surprising rumor from a king named Herod, who was ruling Israel at that time.
The rumor was that a child, who would become king of Israel, was born today.
All. It was a big deal. How greedy is this Herod that he will forever
He wanted to rule so that even his own sons would not take over their throne.
I killed it. So I can't stop worrying and getting angry after hearing the rumors
There was none. So I knew the place and time of this baby's birth.
Then he sent soldiers to the town of Bethlehem, two-year-old children
caught all of them and killed them. Bethlehem, the great king of ancient Israel
The beautiful town that used to be David's town is now the cries of mothers who have lost their babies
And it was filled with the smell of blood and the groans of innocent young lives.
Still, the angels cried out with a loud voice to all the people on the earth.
"Shalom among those who are pleased with it!"
Why did the angels in heaven come to us on the day baby Jesus was born, on the first day of Christmas?
Would I say shalom?
Originally, shalom means "full" or "complete".
***Car Oil/No = Not Shalom, Full = Shalom. not enough, not enough
which.
***Student with broken arm/Givus---Fully recovered = Shalom. Broken state = Anshalom
***Students who do not attend church diligently = Ahn Shalom. Attend full weekly = Shalom
***Children who do not listen well to their parents = Ahn Shalom.
Parents' favorite state = Shalom
***A state of being stuck in a fight during worship time = An shalom, reconciliation and good again
The state of restored friendship = shalom, perfect state.
In the beginning, God made man and placed him in the beautiful Garden of Eden to live.
The time was the state of Shalom. Husband Adam and wife Eve lived naked.
It was a good relationship where we were not ashamed of each other and loved each other like one body.
Humans have a good relationship with animals. Both lions and tigers have a good relationship with humans.
Obedient and well-followed. Of course, it was a peaceful relationship with the animals.
ji. The heavens, the earth, and the sea were also subject to man. all things are people
worked for and existed. And man made himself, and all that
It was a good relationship of obedience and love to God, who entrusted water into his hands.
Everything came in peace. This was heaven. and this
The state is what we call "shalom".
The lord and king of heaven and earth, and of all that is in them, is man.
is. And the Lord and King of man is the God who made the heavens and the earth.
Therefore, nature should submit to man, and man should submit to God.
That is a normal relationship and there is no shortage. there is peace
There is joy and true happiness. This condition is called shalom.
is to say
But look at the world now. Shalom's status? Heaven like the Garden of Eden
is it? Is the world without shortages? All relationships are normal and the world is perfect.
are you?
The sky and the sea rebel against man. Mountains burst and covered a city, leaving tens of thousands of people
Some die by being drenched in water and soil at the same time. This is not Shalom.
People kill animals, and animals are afraid of people. Not shalom.
People hate each other, fight and kill each other. I take my own life
They even kill young girls and their grandfathers by burying them alive.
Children beat their parents, and a wife kills her husband and mutilates the body
They even dump it in the sewer hole.
Whether it's a cartoon or a movie, hitting, smashing and fighting are popular. shalom
no.
Man betrays God who made him. serve him and worship him
I will not give. Rather, they even say nonsense that there is no God. Someone
They worship Buddhas, demons, and other idols instead of God.
It is not a state of shalom. It's not a good life. There is no joy in this life
is. I'm not happy. Not knowing God is the greatest sin, this sin
takes away all the shalom that human beings deserve.
God's punishment is prepared for those who have lost their shalom. That is
That's death. No matter how much you want to die, people get old or get sick.
Or you may have to die in an accident. And you will be judged by hell.
Tossed into a fiery fire that never goes out, forever devastating in it
that's going to be painful. Hell is a world that has lost shalom
It is a world that shows what it is.
All those who have lost shalom will go there.
Everyone, why was Jesus born in this world as a man, and on the first day of Christmas?
Why did the heavenly angels shout shalom to us so powerfully?
Do you think you know?
That's right. Shalom Christ!
Jesus Christ restores the lost shalom to men, to us.
You are here to give.
All the sins committed by man, without leaving any trace, were wrapped in a bag and carried on his back.
He was born on this earth to take the punishment for all human sins.
Jesus was hung on the cross, naked, beaten, pierced, and hung high on the cross.
It was love to bring back shalom to us.
"Shalom" is a gift to those who believe in this fact and believe in Jesus as God.
that is given. "Shalom" is heaven and the kingdom of God. this
It is the greatest Christmas gift that God has given to mankind.
Did you guys get any Christmas presents?
Some children receive and love Lego toys. Some children enjoy entertainment
Great to receive. Some children are delighted to receive a Snow White doll. In addition
Some children may be upset and disappointed that they did not receive any gifts.

However, even though I received the Lego toy, I did not receive Shalom Jesus Christ in my heart.
If you do, you must be very sad. Even if you received Snow White, Shalom Jesus Christ
If you have not received it in your heart through faith, you must cry out loud. still guilty
Because they are under the curse of God and the judgment of hell. poor shalom
Because it's human. Have you received any gifts yet this Christmas?
The gift God gave us at this time of the first Christmas day, Shalom Jesus

Shalom will come to the hearts of those who receive this gift.
Give me this gift today, Amen, in the lives of those who receive it by faith, God's
