The Christian's Hope

To this degree we are left in a world where the Lord is not. However, we are not without hope, and that hope is the highest, the best and the brightest we could have. It is the return of Christ Himself. So it was understood by the early Christians, for by the power of the gospel they were turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven. This is not waiting for the fulfillment of events, but for the Lord Himself.
