No Truth, No Hope
Christianity is realistic because it says that if there is no truth, there is also no hope.

Hope Discovered in Adversity
Hope itself is like a star — not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.

Prisoners of Hope
If we be not “fully persuaded that what God has promised, He is able also to perform,” we shall know but little of the power or energy of hope. If faith be wavering, hope will be flickering. On the contrary, if faith be strong, hope will be strong also; for faith, while it nourishes and strengthens the persuasion, imparts strength and intensity to the expectation.
Hope and Faith
Hope is faith directed to the future.
The Most Wonderful Message the World Has Ever Heard or Ever Will Hear
This Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity — hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory — because at the Father’s will Jesus Christ became poor and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross. It is the most wonderful message that the world has ever heard, or will hear.
J. I. Packer in Nancy Guthrie, Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2008), 71.
The Place of the Cross in Our Lives
Without the Cross in our Gospel, without the Cross at the heart of our preaching, without the Cross centrally enthroned in our lives, there is no hope.
