Christian Life Today

Anchor and Hope in Jesus Christ

On November 30, 2013

Anchor and Hope

A classic Hymn has these lines penned on its chorus:
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll
Fastened to the Rock that cannot move
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love!

In today’s life, we are challenged in so many storms of life. Small or big, these turmoils shakes us and wants to break us physically, emotionally and spiritually. No wonder that we read on the newspapers, on the internet, and social sites about broken families, broken relationships, and worse, broken lives ending in tragic death because of depression, hurt, and bitterness. How can we as Christians face these storms of life? Are we planted enough that our roots gone really deep? Have we anchored our lives that is sure enough not to be swayed or broken?

Today, dear friends, brothers and sisters, let us be encouraged to take hold of the Anchor that is immovable. A sure Rock of foundation. Firm and secure. That Person is our Lord Jesus Christ! Rest in this blessed assurance today. It’s great to have a friend like Him. He wants us to go to him and and ready to help us carry our burden, hurts, and pain. He carries the weight for us as long as we let Him. He gave us Hope even people around us or circumstances says it’s over! The enemy can throw to us enormous storms, discouragements, failures, but hey, we have an Anchor and Hope in Jesus Christ! God and His Word provide the steady anchor and sure foundation. God does not lie, He never change, and He never fails when He said: “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal” (Isaiah 26:3,4).

Thank You Jesus!

“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.” Psalm 127:3-5 NIV

“For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[a]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.”
Psalm 139:13-16NKJV

Celtic Woman performs one the the greatest and most popular Hymn of all time – Amazing Grace. Be blessed!

Celtic Woman Amazing Grace Live

Celtic Woman is an all-female Irish musical ensemble conceived and assembled by Sharon Browne^[1]^[2] and David Downes, a former musical director of the Irish stage show Riverdance.^[3]^[4] In 2004, he recruited five Irish female musicians who had not previously performed together: vocalists Chloë Agnew, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly and Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt, and shaped them into the first lineup of the group that he named Celtic Woman. Downes chose a repertoire that ranged from traditional Celtic tunes to modern songs.

The group’s lineup has changed over the years; in 2009, the group consisted of Chloë Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly, Alex Sharpe and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt; Alex Sharpe left the group in May 2010.

Christ Forgiveness

“As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

Psalm 103:12

“When a debt had to be settled,” says Dr. A. J. Gordon, “either by full payment or forgiveness, it was the usage for the creditor to take the cancelled bond and nail it over the door of him who had owed it, that all passers-by might see that it was paid. Oh, blessed story or our remission! There is the cross, the door of grace, behind which a bankrupt world lies in hopeless debt to the law. See Jesus, our bondsman and brother, coming forth with the long list of our indebtedness in His hand. He lifts it up where God and angels and men may see it, and then, as the nail goes through His hand, it goes through the bond of our transgressions, to cancel it for ever, blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us. He took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.”

This is the wonderful act of remission that is portrayed for us with such vividness in the cup of the Lord’s Supper. The nail that went through those bonds and fastened them there on the cross went also through the body of the Lord Jesus. Blood flowed at the remitting or our sins – the blood of the Son of God. The cup that is so sweet to us was emptied of terrible bitterness by the Lord Himself, then filled with heaven’s choicest blessings and brought to us. While we rejoice at the remission, let us not forget what it cost our Redeemer; nor let us forget the wonderful grace that puts all our sins away “as far as the east is from the west.”
