Jesus is Our Hope
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present not the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom. 8:38-39
So often we
find ourselves in situations where we are in need of hope. The Bible gives us great hope through
Scriptures that encourage us to face battles, dilemmas, and obstacles. These verses are given to us so we can better
understand our Savior, and draw closer to Him.
This is
exemplified in Hebrews 6:19: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul,
firm and secure.” Verse 20
continues, “It enters the inner sanctuary
behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our
behalf. He has become a high priest
forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
It is powerful
to know we have hope as an anchor!
Anchors are secure, rock-solid, and immoveable. When a boat lowers its anchor, the boat is
secured. The hope mentioned in Hebrews
serves as an anchor for our soul. It is
described as a firm and secure anchor.
Think upon such hope as being firm and secure in our lives. It acts in such a way that in the midst of
hopelessness, an anchor is tossed to us.
We can grab hold of it and hold onto it.
It is an eternal hope, made possible by covenant. Jesus Christ is our hope.
Many people
suffer from shame and guilt in their lives, and need an anchor whose name is
Jesus. When we place our hope in Him,
freedom comes! Nothing can separate us from the love of God found in Christ Jesus. He is our anchor and our hope!
