Hope Anchored in Jesus!

 

 

 

"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, 

both sure and steadfast, 

and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 

where the forerunner has entered for us, 

even Jesus, 

having become High Priest forever 

according to the order of Melchizedek".

Hebrews 6:19-20 

 

Anchor definition

 

 From Acts 27:29, 30, 40,  

it would appear that the Roman vessels carried several anchors,  

which were attached to the stern as well as to the prow.  

The Roman anchor, like the modern one, had two teeth or flukes.  

In Heb. 6:19 the word is used metaphorically for that which supports  

or keeps one steadfast in the time of trial or of doubt.  

It is an emblem of hope.  

"If you fear, Put all your trust in God: that anchor holds."  anchor. (n.d.). Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.
