Hope as our Anchor
“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.” Heb. 6:19-20
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.
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!
If you are downcast, put your hope in Jesus. Peter describes this as a “living hope” which
is what we find in the Lord.
May our hope in Christ sustain us and be our anchor all the
days of our lives.
