Names of Christ: Shiloh (Peacemaker)

Hi ladies. As we grow together and follow Jesus Christ, seeking to know God more intimately in our day-to-day lives, let's continue learning the many names of God in our Sunday blog posts. Each of God's many names describe a different aspect of His character and teaches us more about who He is. We are moving into the second part of the Trinity and now focusing on the many names of Christ. These will be shorter blog postings but equally important as we get to know the character of our Redeemer and King. Today, let's worship our Savior as we learn about Him... Shiloh (Peacemaker).

Shiloh (Peacemaker)

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Genesis 49:10)

Israel must walk in darkness under law until the years may seem eternity, but "Shiloh" comes at last and peace with Him. Has Shiloh come to you? And has the peace which passes understanding, the peace He made, entered into your soul? For Shiloh came and conquered every foe that could harass you, and He stands today offering the peace He made "that passes knowledge." Have you received it? Has Shiloh come in vain for you? Begin today and "in everything by prayer and supplication make your requests known to Him," and Shiloh's peace shall "calm your heart."

Lord, Your peace passes all our earthly understanding. Help us to remain obedient and faithful to You so that Your peace will remain. Amen.

Thank you, Jesus, for revealing yourself to us. We praise your Name forever and ever!!!

Blessings!

The writer acknowledges a measure of indebtedness to such works as those of Webb-Peploe, Andrew Jukes, R. B. Girdlestone, and Parkhurst's Hebrew Lexicon. The Scripture quotations are from the King James Version and the American Standard Version (A.S.V.), while some are free translations from the Hebrew. In addition, The Devoted Woman has included data from other resources where we felt more explanation was necessary.
