The Anchor Of Hope
The Bible is a book of hope, healing, and change.
John 15:3
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
When we read the Word, without even us realising, it can transform us. It is like an antivirus which deletes unwanted things and purifies us. The Bible also gives us hope to face the world. We must cling to the Word since it is the only thing that gives us hope. The Bible is a book of Hope.
We know that since Jesus has overcome the world, so have we!
Hebrews 6:19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain
The hope of the Word of God is like an anchor for us. We all know that to stop a vehicle, we use a brake. The brake helps the vehicle stay put in one place. In the same way, every ship has an anchor that holds them in place to a rock under the sea. Even when the winds and storms come, the ship will stay put.
Our anchor that keeps us steady in the midst of trials and tribulations in life, is the hope of the Word of God. It is firm and secure. Hope in the Word secures our life in Christ.
Hebrews 13:5
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Our hope is that God, our Abba will never leave us nor forsake us! We are safe wherever we go! We are not orphans.
In 2 Timothy 4:18 Paul writes to his spiritual son Timothy: “But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Paul was constantly under attack from ruling authorities, Governments etc but he was secure in the hope that His God would rescue him and preserve him and take him to His eternal kingdom after he had fought the good fight of proclaiming the gospel to many, planting churches, writing letters etc.
God knows when even a single hair of ours falls off. Nothing will happen to you that God is not aware of.
Jesus went through similar situations. Satan tried to kill the infant Jesus through Kings and many times later too. There are many things Satan dislikes in the Bible. He dislikes the first three chapters of the Bible (Genesis, and the last three chapters. The first three describe his coming and fall, and the last three (In Revelation ) describe his destruction in the lake of fire. These six chapters are the ones Satan uses to deceive people to turn away from God. But our eternal life in Christ is guaranteed and this is our hope.
Many things may happen in life that may sway us and try to destroy us. But in these difficulties, it is the hope of God that anchors us and keeps us steady. They could not do anything to Jesus till the appointed time when Jesus gave up His life for us. The same is true of us too. We who are anchored in Christ are secure in Him.
