A hope that will never disappoint can only be found in the Saviour

Drought, bushfires, hail, coronavirus …. When will this all stop? Where do people find their security? The Christian hope is a sure and certain hope which is built on a person … Jesus Christ. Christians are a people who live by faith and not by fear. In this passage, the writer points us to the greatness and faithfulness of God. Abraham is given as an example and we see in his son Isaac, who was given back ‘from the dead’ a picture of what was accomplished through Jesus as the cross.

What have we fled from? We need to flee from God’s righteous anger against sin and a hopeless, futile life to find a refuge in Jesus. We need to take God at his promise … ‘believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved’. He will never disappoint us because it is impossible for Him to lie.

The Christian hope is like an anchor in a storm tossed world … Jesus is our hope as we come before the very presence of God. With this anchor death will not be the last word in our lives. If we are trusting in Jesus we do not need to be afraid.
