Biblical “hope” is the confident assurance that what has been promised will be fulfilled!  Jesus has supplied us with so much hope in the midst of a fallen world.  We must remember that we aren’t truly home yet.  The New Jerusalem and heaven are our real home.  We are a church on the way.  We live in temporary lodgings, but our eternal dwelling is being prepared.  How glorious it will be. Hebrews 12:1; Jeremiah 17:7
