The Anchor

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” Hebrews 6:19

The anchor symbolises steadfastness, steadiness, firmness. It is there for a purpose. This hope in Jesus will keep us secure in the worst of storms. I think that it is interesting to note that in Jesus day, anchors were large stones with a hole through them for the rope. It fits the other metaphors used of Jesus as our "Rock".

In other words, our hope in Christ and His promises is not a "wish" or a "I hope so" but it is strong, firm and secure.

Hope is Jesus – it is in Jesus. As our strong "anchor" Jesus can give us hope through any struggles we have on this earth.

If you are in a storm or trial remember to drop anchor to see you through – that is to put your confidence in Jesus.

Now that is something to hold on to!!
