For we have this hope as an anchor…

Hope in the Greek means not only hope, but also expectation, trust, confidence.  Is that how you define hope?  Or do you think of it as more of wishful thinking?  If you hope for something do you expect for it to happen?  Are you confident?

The writer of Hebrews tells us that we have hope as an anchor and Warren Wiersbe goes further to say anchored heavenward.  Our anchor is in heaven.  Does that change how you view hope?  Christ as our hope means we have assurance, a confidence, because of the certainty of God’s faithfulness.  A faithfulness that he will fulfill his promises.  We know he is a God that will do what he says he will do.  Doesn’t that give hope in and of itself? 

Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.  (Hebrews 11:1) Hope is faith.  Faith is hope.  Hold on to this kind of hope.  This is the anchor.  This hope is transformative.  This is the hope that provides perseverance and endurance and strength during all. The. Things.

Be anchored heavenward, friends.
