The Hope We Have

There’s an old Rich Mullins song called Hope to Carry On. The end of the chorus states, “Love has come, And He’s given me hope to carry on.” Hope is a powerful motivator. Sometimes, our hope is fleeting – like when our not-so-great sports team is playing; other times, our hope is mildly confident – like when our children are testing for their driver’s license. Sometimes, our hope is simply seeing the light at the end of the tunnel (and it not being a train!). The Scripture, however, is clear. Because Christ lives in the believer, we have the hope of glory. Our hope is a fully confident expectation.
