Too
often we think of hope in too individualistic a manner as merely our personal
salvation. But hope essential bears on
the great actions of God concerning the whole of creation. It bears on the destiny of all humanity. It is the salvation of the world that we
await. In reality hope bears on the
salvation of all men and women – an it is only in the measure that I am
immersed in them that it bears on me.
