Hebrews 13:20-21

Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen

From Background Notes [BN] for December 22nd & 23rd written by Pastor Bob Brown:


Notice how Hebrews associates the “God of Peace” with the work of making the followers of Jesus “complete in everything good…”

Since shalom is about wholeness, this resonates with the theme of the complete life that does God’s will and pleases Him.  [BN, 7]
