How is Jesus an anchor for my soul?

The  second verse of Edward Mote's hymn, 'On Christ the Solid rock I stand,"
 is one of my favorites.
When darkness seems to hide his face, I rest on His unchanging grace,
In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil.
So vivid. So stirring. Christ is an anchor for our souls.

But what does that essentially mean? What is the basis of that promise?
It's taken from Hebrews 6:19-20. "We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul, a hope that enters the inner place behind the curtain where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

I see 3 ways here in which Christ is an anchor for our souls.

Christ is an anchor for our souls because he is a High Priest who has made a way to God's presence for us. The veil that separated an unholy people from a holy God has been torn in His broken body.
We have access to God's presence through Jesus' body, to find grace and mercy in storms of need.

Christ is an anchor for our souls because he is a High Priest who sympathizes with us and strengthens us in our weakness, having been tempted in every way, yet being found without sin. He lives to pray for us at His Father's right hand with priestly power to present us faultless to His Father on that Day!

And finally, Christ is an anchor for our souls because he is a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek was the priest who blessed Abraham, confirming God's promise to bless him and make him a blessing to all nations. So the promise that is an anchor for our souls is not just a personal priestly promise. It is a commissioning promise.
It is a promise that God will lead us on a multiplying mission to all nations!
It is a promise, that when believed upon and obeyed, often brings its own storm to our souls.
The storm of commission includes the pain of sending/leaving people you love, the cost of giving of your best, the insecurity of unchartered waters, the cold wind of stretched resources, the icy fear of possible failure or rejection.

God's promise is that as we obey Jesus the Great Commissioner, we experience Jesus The High Priest, who calms our fears, undergirds our insecurities and strengthens our frailties.
Christ is the forerunner. He has fulfilled His mission and can now help us on the same journey.
Christ is not only a forerunner who helps us in the storm of temptation.
He is a forerunner who strengthens us in the storm of mission!
This is a sure and steadfast anchor for our souls.

  6. STOP WASTING YOUR TIME ON FAKE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE AN AGENT I WAS SCAMMED 4TIMES NOT UNTIL I RECEIVE A MESSAGE ON MY WHATSAPP TO CONTACT MR HARRIS WHICH I DID NOW I AM A FULL MEMBER OF THE GREAT ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD BE WHAT YOU WHICH FOR IN LIFE BY JOINING THE GREAT ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD TODAY Further encouraging the rumours is the widespread use of supposed "Illuminati" imagery in music videos. Many Freemason and Illuminati symbols, like devil horns and the all-seeing eye, have simply become popular in mainstream culture. But it's also true that some musicians seem to enjoy deliberately playing with symbols connected to secret societies.if you are interested contact on email illuminatiriches50085@gmail.com or whatsapp number +19718012239 GOOD LUCK..

  10. The Best Cryptocurrency Recovery Hacker I've ever known are Recovery Masters

    Lack of good information is very bad, i'll like to share my experience about crypto theft here and how I got my money recovered. One faithful evening I was going through the internet and I saw a lot of ads about this investment website. I tried to give them a try to gain financial freedom after giving me their contract agreement and all. Along the line they kept their promise until I made a huge deposit to get massive profit. I discovered the website crashed and their support team is not responding to their mails. I was devastated and came on this forum then I found reviews about (Recoverymasters@email.cz) I gave this fund recovery hackers a try because I never imagined crypto could be retrieved and they did get my lost funds back completely. I urge you to write to them for help on their email or WhatsAp +1(551) 202-23-35 them

  11. Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the illuminati. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life
