Heb 6:19 – “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.”
The unfailing source of our hope is that we are sons and daughters of God and that His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, saved us from death. He broke the bands of death. His victory came through His excruciating pain, suffering, and agony. He atoned for our sins if we repent. In the Garden of Gethsemane came the anguished cry, “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. Luke described the intensity of the agony: “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly… Luke 23:44. Hope is trusting in God’s promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future. Abraham “against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations.” Contrary to human reason, he trusted God, “fully persuaded” that God would fulfil His promises. We can all find hope from our personal prayers and gain comfort from the scriptures. We can also find hope in Peter’s experience during the events leading to the Crucifixion. This experience strengthened Peter to the point that he would never fail again and was known as the rock. As Peter gained hope after a moment of weakness, you, I, and everyone can enjoy the hope that comes from the knowledge that God truly lives.PRAYER POINTS
