In the cultural context of the time, hospitality was a significant virtue, and a "man of peace" would be someone open to receiving strangers and their message. This concept is rooted in the Jewish understanding of "shalom," which encompasses peace, wholeness, and well-being. The idea of finding a "man of peace" is also seen in the Old Testament, such as when Abraham's servant sought a suitable wife for Isaac (<a href="/genesis/24-12.htm">Genesis 24:12-14</a>). Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate bringer of peace (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>).your peace will rest on him The peace mentioned here is not merely a greeting but a profound spiritual blessing. In biblical terms, peace is a gift from God, often associated with His presence and favor (<a href="/numbers/6-24.htm">Numbers 6:24-26</a>). When Jesus sent out His disciples, He empowered them to extend His peace to others. This peace is a foretaste of the Kingdom of God, which Jesus proclaimed throughout His ministry. The resting of peace on a person signifies acceptance and the beginning of a transformative relationship with God.if not, it will return to you This phrase indicates that the peace offered is not lost if it is not accepted. Instead, it returns to the one who offers it, signifying that the responsibility of the messenger is to offer peace, not to ensure its acceptance. This reflects the broader biblical principle of free will and the individual's responsibility to respond to God's call (<a href="/deuteronomy/30-19.htm">Deuteronomy 30:19</a>). Theologically, it underscores the sovereignty of God in salvation, as seen in the parable of the sower (<a href="/matthew/13.htm">Matthew 13:1-23</a>), where the seed is sown widely, but not all ground is receptive.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this verse, Jesus is instructing His disciples as He sends them out to spread the Gospel. 2. <a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a> The followers of Jesus who are being sent out in pairs to towns and places where Jesus Himself was about to go. 3. <a href="/topical/m/man_of_peace.htm">Man of Peace</a> A person receptive to the message of the Gospel and who welcomes the disciples. 4. <a href="/topical/t/towns_and_places.htm">Towns and Places</a> The various locations where the disciples are sent to prepare the way for Jesus. 5. <a href="/topical/p/peace.htm">Peace</a> The blessing or greeting of peace that the disciples are instructed to offer to those they encounter.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_peace_in_evangelism.htm">The Role of Peace in Evangelism</a> The peace offered by the disciples is not just a greeting but a spiritual blessing.
