Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate.  Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.  For we have no continuing city here, but we seek one to come.

Hopeless

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Paul, in Colossians

To receive Christ is to receive hope of eternal life. His presence in our hearts gives us hope of salvation. When Jesus returns for us to bring us salvation, we will have no more hope because there will be nothing else to hope for.

We might say, then, that the goal of our life in Christ is to attain to hopelessness; that is, to have our hope of salvation fulfilled. One thing is certain: as long as we possess this hope of salvation, we have not received the salvation we hope for.
