“Christian Hope Frees Us To Act Hopefully In The World. It Enables Us To Act Humbly And Patiently, Tackling Visible Injustices In The World Around Us Without Needing To Be Assured That Our Skill And Our Effort Will Somehow Rid The World Of Injustice Altogether. Christian Hope, After All, Does Not Need To See What It Hopes For (Heb. 11:1); And Neither Does It Require Us To Comprehend The End Of History. Rather, It Simply Requires Us To Trust That Even The Most Outwardly Insignificant Of Faithful Actions - The Cup Of Cold Water Given To The Child, The Widow's Mite Offered At The Temple, The Act Of Hospitality Shown To The Stranger, None Of Which Has Any Overall Strategic Socio-political Significance So Far As We Can Now See - Will Nevertheless Be Made To Contribute In Some Significant Way To The Construction Of God's Kingdom By The Action Of God's Creative And Sovereign Grace.”
