Hope for the Christian



Today I have had one of those frustrating sort of days--things just didn't seem to go according to "my" plan, but I read this quote concerning 1 John 3:2-3 in The Normal Church Life by P.G. Mathew and it helped me to gain some perspective:

What is our hope?  It is the parousia, the coming of the Lord.  What is our hope?  That we shall see him as he is.  What is our hope?  That when we see him, we shall be made like him and shall remain with him forever.  This is the Christian's great hope.
