A few weeks ago in my Friday morning Bible study group one of the elders of the group explained that "Hope" in the original Greek language that the scripture was written in, meant a certainty that just has not happened yet. That cleared up a lot of questions I had concerning that word which appears so often in the New Testament. Hope, in english contains some uncertainty. ( I hope the Mets win the World Series this year.) Hope, in the scriptures is a certainty belived in by faith that just has not happened yet. |
