Hope Realized #RTTBROS #Nightlight Hope Realized: Where Faith Becomes Sight "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?" - Romans 8:24 (KJV) As I stood before the congregation at two funeral services this weekend, a striking revelation dawned upon me about the nature of hope in eternity. In God's divine plan, there exist two realms where hope ceases to exist, though for vastly different reasons. In hell, hope vanishes because all possibility of redemption is forever lost. Yet in heaven, hope disappears not through loss, but through perfect fulfillment – there is no need to hope for what we already fully possess. This truth illuminates the temporary nature of hope in our earthly journey. Hope serves as a divine bridge, carrying us through the valleys of this mortal life toward our eternal destination. Like a traveler longing for home, we hope because we have not yet arrived. But when we reach heaven's shores, that hope transforms into the joy of arrival, the ecstasy of fulfillment. Consider how a child hopes for Christmas morning – the anticipation, the waiting, the believing in things not yet seen. When dawn breaks and the child beholds their gifts, hope dissolves into pure joy. So it will be when we enter glory, where faith becomes sight and hope blossoms into eternal reality. For the believer, this understanding brings profound comfort. Our present hopes – for healing, for reunion with loved ones, for perfect communion with God – are not mere wishes, but promises awaiting their appointed time. Every tear we shed, every prayer we lift, every moment we trust points toward that glorious day when hope will be swallowed up in the victory of its fulfillment. Let us therefore hold fast to hope while it remains necessary, knowing that its very existence points to something greater – an eternal weight of glory that awaits us, where hope will be transformed into endless praise for its perfect realization in Christ.
