This is the hope the Apostle Paul is talking about in his Letter to the Romans. But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. This is a God whom we can trust with our future, who in our end will be there for us and with us. This is a God who is in relationship with us, a relationship characterized by steadfast and enduring love. We can invest ourselves in concrete, finite goals, only if we have transfinite hope that provides us emotional and spiritual sanctuary, that allows us to go on and not fall into despair if those finite hopes do not materialize.
Christians have that transfinite hope.
Because we have that hope, we are better equipped to ride out the storm when the crisis hits, knowing that this too shall pass , that tomorrow will bring better things, that there is more to the world than this present, that the future is open-ended and the impossible is possible. Having that hope of a better future, we can, as Paul writes, wait for it with patience.
