““Every time Jewish people greet one another with “Shalom”—loosely translated “Peace”—they express the God-given cry of the heart to live in a world where there’s no sin, suffering, or death. There was once such a world, enjoyed by only two people and some animals. But there will again be such a world, enjoyed by all its inhabitants. Knowing that this glorious future awaits God’s children can give us perspective and courage to face our present sufferings, which are very real, yet in view of eternity only fleeting.””
