Hebrews 6:19-20b
"We have this hope - like a sure and firm anchor of the soul - that enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. Jesus has entered there on our behalf."
HOPE should be one of those identifying characterics of a believer. It should be evident to everyone around us that we have a hope that does not change with the circumstances and seasons in our life.
HOPE should be like the anchor of a ship. It grounds the ship in place, makes it immovable from its position. Likewise, our hope that rests in Jesus should ground us in our fellowship with God. Our hope makes our belief in the sufficiency of God for all of life immovable.
Our hope is not anchored in anything this world has to offer. It is not connected to our job, our bank account, our hobbies, our homes, our possessions, or any person of this world.
Our HOPE lies in the person and work of Jesus as our "high priest - holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens." Our hope is that Jesus - our Creator, Sustainer, and Savior intercedes constantly on our behalf.
Our HOPE is anchored in the all powerful, unchangeable God; who promises our restoration for believing in His son Jesus.
Our HOPE is anchored in His grace and mercy; which He has promised based on who we are in Christ.
This week make sure people know and see the hope that is in you, that Jesus anchors your soul.
