We’re thrilled to be sharing this visible, joyful representation of the anchor-strong hope we have – especially in the light of so much uncertainty in our nation surrounding Brexit and the upcoming general election, as well as the personal situations of so many individuals who will come past the Sanctuary’s base over the next few days and weeks.
Inspired by Hebrews 6:19, our under-water writing proclaims a rock solid reality to rely on:
“There is a hope so strong it’s an anchor for our restless souls…
… a constant, life-line connection to eternal, immovable Love.
It’s sure and steadfast – it can’t be broken or weakened, even when the seas get rough and the storms throw their very worst at us.
Still then, this anchor-hope holds firm and true.
His name is Jesus.”
As so often at the Sanctuary, what God reveals to us in prayer to share with others is also vital and life-giving truth to cling onto ourselves.
And right now, as the Sanctuary faces a season of transition where we move towards a new base and new ways of working, we’re glad of this reminder too!
It is Jesus who is our fixed point and home… and it is the inner sanctuary of communion with him that is our best and permanent dwelling place.
Our prayer is that many people will find hope as a result of seeing this art installation – and that all of us in the Sanctuary’s praying community (especially locally) will do the same!
