"We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 6:18-20
Why does this give me hope? Hope is in the very life of these verses. I have run for my very life, perhaps not physically, but mentally, spiritually, emotionally. I do have EVERY reason to grab onto that promised hope with both hands and never let go. I'm holding onto it with a death grip. I'll not let it go for anything in this world. Nothing can bring me more hope than this unbreakable lifeline. This lifeline reaches to my very Creator, the very God of this universe, where Jesus continually prays for me. He has gone on ahead of me. He's already DIED for me; but, now, He continues to pray for me without ceasing. He is my high priest, my only hope. I'm holding on with everything that I have. I refuse to let go, if even for a second, for I know that if I ever let go, I'll let go for, perhaps, forever. I won't be able to reach back so easily and grab back onto that hope. Sure, I could, but why should I ever let go? This is my hope. This is my dream. This is what keeps me going.
