God Is Our Anchor!
"This hope we have as an anchor of
the soul, both sure and steadfast,
and which enters the Presence
behind the veil."
Hebrews 6: 19
Have we forgotten Jesus is our anchor?
In the early eras, the anchor was a primary
symbol
of Christianity. You will see them in
catacombs and as epitaphs on believers’
tombs dating back to the first century.
In recent days, classic hymnists write
songs like: “We have an anchor that keeps
the soul steadfast and sure when the
billows
roll,” also: “In times like these you need an
anchor; be very sure, be very sure, your
anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock.”
The hope of Jesus is our anchor, and we
swing
it upward to the throne where our
Lord is firmly seated, risen and reigning.
Our hope in Him grips the rock and
steadies our soul.
Having the sure hope of eternity through
Jesus Christ allows us to weather
daily
storms of life.
Fixing our anchor in eternity allows us
more stability for life each day. Be very
sure your anchor holds and grips the
Solid Rock!
"Troubles almost ’whelm the soul;
griefs like billows o’er me roll…
but in Christ I can be bold,
I’ve an anchor that shall
hold."
William C. Martin
