希伯來書 6:19-20我們有這指望,如同靈魂的錨,又堅固又牢靠,且通入幔內。作先鋒的耶穌,既照著麥基洗德的等次成了永遠的大祭司,就為我們進入幔內。
Hebrews 6:19-20
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

人生不能沒有指望.其實我們每天都是靠著指望活著. 沒有指望, 我們不知道明天太陽會不會還依舊從東方昇起, 沒有指望, 我們不曉得我們的工作會不會得到報酬, 沒有指望, 我們所做的一切將會變為沒有任何意義.
然而, 我們所指望的, 卻不是一定十分可靠. 我所簽署的工作的合約, 有許多份在約滿以前就因種種原因被迫終止, 原本安穩工作的指望就一下子成為泡影, 合約上寫明立約雙方都有權以兩個星期的通知期, 在任何時候終止合約, 所以可以誇口的指望就變成只有兩個禮拜了. 其實並不然, 因為我也遇到過許多『奸商』,並不遵守合內約內容, 隨便賠幾天的工資就立刻終止合約. 靠人, 一點兒指望的把握都沒有.
這幾年的經歷, 讓我學習到一個事實, 就是, 我們所可以矜誇的指望, 只有在那永恆不變, 全知全能全愛的神那裡才能找到. 這指望要求我們充滿信心地等待, 盼望,因它是堅固牢靠的. 生命中的變幻是無止息的, 每天我們都有許多需要擔心的事, 但是如果我們懂得找緊緊來自耶穌基督的指望, 擔心就不用變成憂患. 有耶穌作我們的祭司, 替我們進入至聖所, 我們又有甚麼值得繼續擔憂下去的呢?
神啊, 謝謝祢.
What am I hoping for? That's a tough question. Sometimes I think I'm just living each day "as is" without much expectation. Sometimes there may be more... Well, joy - maybe that's what I'm hoping for. But what makes me feel happy? I'll go back to connection - connect with God, with people and with oneself.
Lord, let me have more acceptance for people and for myself too. Let me get closer to You everyday. Let me hope for the joy of seeing You. I know it should start from now. If I don't want to see You now, how can I be happy seeing You everyday in heaven?
