Our Hope in Christ

Hebrews 6 Why is our hope in Christ better?

Verse one of this chapter speaks volumes about our hope in Christ.  Hope in the Old Testament Law and Prophets only pointed toward the coming Christ.  Live live in the times when “a greater than Solomon is here!”  We not only have salvation in Christ that is eternally secure, but we also have the work of the Holy Spirit in us perfecting the saints according to the will of God!  In our Better Christ and His marvelous salvation, we are getting better day by day as we allow the Spirit to change us to be like Him.  Verse 9 reveals that there are even better things that accompany salvation. There are many things that the gift of salvation brings with it. You can no doubt name many without much deliberation.  Verse 10 reveals that not only are we given better things in salvation, but we have a  better ministry for the Lord on this earth.

The Old Testament Saints served God by Faith and passed on to us a goodly heritage. Christ did many things while He walked in the flesh on this earth.  But Jesus told His disciples that they would do greater things.  That is because we have a Better Hope, and by the power of the resurrection of Christ from the dead, we have a lively hope in Christ.  Verse 19 tops them all when we see hope in Christ is the anchor of the soul.  This hope never changes and is paramount to all other hope in this world.  This hope is anchored within the veil.  The Holiest Place in the temple was the Holy of Holies. Our Savior anchored our souls though His salvation in the Holy of Holies in Heaven.  Safe and secure is that hope of our soul forever.

Our Hope in Christ is better and the longer we live, the better it becomes!
