I have never been able to doubt Christ for very long, because he will not leave me alone for very long. I am much like the philosopher who after trying to be an athiest gave up all hope. Why? He said that if we try to dismiss Christ as a man, he haunts us as an idea. If we try to dismiss him as an idea, he haunts us as a man.
Calvin Miller, The Christ of Easter
Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b
