Hope is often defined as “positive thinking” or optimism. But viewed through the lens of the cross, hope becomes an agent of empowering transformation. It does not deny suffering. Hope acknowledges that the present conditions are desperate, and it depends on God, with whom nothing is impossible. Hope is both honest about suffering and urgent about God’s future.
