Bowen's Daily Meditations
" Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus." - Hebrews 6:20.
"We have an anchor of the soul, even hope; and that hope is within the veil, where Jesus is. With Jesus the hope of the believer hath soared from earth and made its home in the heaven of heavens; and the presence of our hope there is the pledge of our own future presence there. How flattering, delusive, treacherous, is earthly hope. What horrid wounds it inflicts upon the heart that it pretends to bless. How it spreads its imitation heaven around, even where deadly miasmas exhale. But when we escape the wiles of this enemy, and become acquainted with the hope that beams upon us from the loving eyes of him who is extended on the cross, then may we be glad with exceeding joy. Here is a hope that nothing can injure. It died in Christ only to live forever in a region where there is no death. Our hope ascended up with him and met with him a welcome from the angels. We are already anchored at the throne of God.
