Prisoners of Hope

By James White

ONE more point. Christ is the tower of the flock, "the stronghold of the daughter of Zion." Micah 4:8. Now turn to the exhortation of the prophet: "Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto you." Zech. 9:12. The blood of the covenant (verse 11) is still offered before the throne of God, and is powerful enough to set every prisoner free. Therefore we are all prisoners of hope. We may all be free if we will. No matter how high our sins may seem to be piled up against us, backed by the law of God, we need not despair, for the blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin; and where sin abounds, grace doth much more abound.
