The Hope for Humanity

“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:19-20

The writer of Hebrews tells us the hope we have in Christ is like an immovable anchor to our souls. Warren Wiersbe writes, “Jesus Christ is our eternal refuge. As our High Priest, He will never die (Hebrews 7:23-25); and we have eternal salvation. No avenger can touch us, because He (Christ) has already died and arisen from the dead (Hebrews 6:19).”

Have you come to a place where discouragement meets you at every turn and the temptation to give up pulls at your soul? Jesus knows all you are facing. He is aware of your struggle and promises to meet your every need.

He is your eternal hope and everlasting encourager. When Matthew was still collecting taxes from the Jews, Jesus offered him new life. When the woman was caught in adultery, Jesus restored her and gave her a new beginning. When Peter denied knowing the Son of God, Jesus didn’t deny knowing him.

The hope of humanity is not of this world.

Human rights and political policies will never fulfill the eternal need locked away within each of us. Acceptance, unconditional love, and abiding hope belong only to Jesus Christ. He is our one sure Anchor within the veil of eternal triumph.
