Hebrews 6:19 Which Hope We Have As An Anchor Of The Soul

Hebrews 6:19 (KJV) Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

The surety of our hope is in Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest – Hebrews 6:20 (KJV)  Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 

In Christ is the anchor for our soul. This hope is both steadfast and sure. When Christ died upon the cross, the veil into the inner sanctum of God’s throne room, the most holy place, where the mercy seat is, was torn, providing us that access.

To help us understand, Christ’s priesthood resembles that of Melchisedec who is also king of Salem, king of peace to whom even Abraham gave tithes – Hebrews 7:1-3 (KJV)  For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;  2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;  3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Amen.
