Hebrews 6:9-20

"God's Plan to Anchor You" - Hebrews 6:9-20

If you were asked, "What image symbolizes Christianity more than any other", what would you say? I am fairly certain you would boldly declare, "silly pastor, everyone knows...the cross...obviously"!

And you would be right, in our day and age. But, did you know that was not always the case? Some suggest that the cross did not emerge as a dominant Christian symbol until about 300AD... So what were the symbols of faith and hope in Christ prior to that?

Well, you are likely familiar with the "fish" symbol. That was a biggie, as was an anchor! Really? Yes, really! And as we look over our next section of Hebrews, verses 9-20 in chapter 6, you will see why!

Think about it. If you were being persecuted, and friends were being killed for believing in Jesus, what symbol would encourage to stay put and to hang on in the stormy seas of anti-Christ attitudes and policies? Maybe an anchor?

The author Hebrews is confident that his audience is not going to drift away. God already knew that humans tend to drift, so He has provided everything He can to anchor our souls.

What is God's plan and method for helping us stay anchored? That, my dear friends, will be our topic of discussion for Sunday morning, if you will......
