When we grieve, we find solace and strength in our hope in eternal life. Our confidence that in Heaven God wipes away the tears of those who died comforts us.
Scott Hozee affirms that comfort but also cautions that “biblical hope, Christian hope is no opiate, no excuse for passivity, no reason not to rage appropriately against the machinations of injustice, poverty, corruption, and violence today…. Hope is what gives us the steel and the grit to soldier on for the truth, to preach the Gospel, to denounce that which Christ died to end and anything that will not have a place in Heaven.”
