We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. —Hebrews 6:19
Unlike a ship, Christians have an anchor for the soul that cannot fail during life’s raging storms. The chain of our divine anchor is always ample; it reaches far into the heavens instead of sinking into the deep sea. Running adrift is inconceivable, sinking is illogical—for this heavenly anchor has a name: Jesus.
The Anchor of our souls is eternally secure.
The writer of Hebrews paints the glorious picture of Jesus, our great high priest, ripping open the curtain into the holy of holies for redeemed sinners to follow Him into God’s holy presence. On the cross, Jesus’ body was torn so that we have direct access to the Father through the perfect blood sacrifice of His Son.
Since it’s impossible for God to lie, our hope in His promises is tightly anchored to the unshakeable Rock. Each one will arrive safely at its designated port because Jesus says so. Every beyond-belief promise begins and ends in the Father and is secured by His Son.
