We Have This Hope

We have this hope -- like a sure and firm anchor of the soul -- that enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. - Hebrews 6:19

As the old hymn states, "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness."

Christian hope is much different than the world's hope. The hope of the world is more like a wish or desire. "Earth-dwellers" hope that things will work out for their good, but have no assurance that they will. True believers, "heaven-dwellers" are fully-assured (in fact, certain) that things will work out for God's eternal glory and their ultimate good.

Let us be reminded this day that we do not hope in an uncertain fate. Rather, we hope in a certain, Risen Savior.

Make it your goal in old age to keep your ear tuned more sharply to God's voice, following Him faithfully all the way to the end. This is a lifetime deal. No quitters need apply. - Lawrence Kimbrough
