We have this hope as an anchor
for the soul, firm and secure. – Hebrews 6:19
The anchor is one of
the earliest symbols used by the Christian church. It has been found on first
century Christian tombs, in catacombs in Rome, and even on the garden tomb in
Jerusalem that some believe was the site of Jesus’ burial and resurrection. The
symbol of an anchor reminded them of God’s promise of salvation and eternal
life, a hope they clung to, especially during times of persecution. We
believers today also cling to this same great hope.
Everyone from the owner
of a small boat to the captain of a cargo ship knows how important the anchor
is. The anchor keeps a boat from being cast adrift. An unanchored boat can
easily get into trouble, dashed on rocks, grounded on a sand bar or reef, or
lost adrift in a vast ocean. Without hope in Jesus our lives can easily drift
as well. Jesus’ promise of salvation is firm and secure. When we face rough
waters in this life, our hope in Jesus keeps us safely anchored to his
promises.
May God keep you strong
in faith as you face the challenges of this week. May the Holy Spirit
strengthen your faith, that your hope in Jesus keep your soul anchored firm and
secure in his promises of forgiveness, life, and salvation.
God bless your week,
Principal Schneck J
Thank you to all those families who contributed to our 0 to

comfort kits and collect 17 pairs of jeans, 50 books and 23 pairs of pajamas.
Thanks for being a blessing to those in need!
