Hope is the essence of life. Without hope, life cannot exist, at least in any meaningful way, and sometimes not at all. The greatest horror is hopelessness. The greatest threat to any human is an endless existence of hopelessness, void of any chance to know or experience God. Hopelessness is surely the chief characteristic of a Christless eternity.
Conversely, the greatest hope possible for any human is that which is given in Christ-to see Him and to dwell with Him forever in Paradise!
Total peace, total joy, and total love. Indescribable beauty. Indescribable sounds. No sickness, pain, sorrow, or death. No dishonesty, corruption, or crime. No taxes! No depressing daily newspapers or television network news.
There will be a joyful reunion with loved ones who trusted the Savior. We will meet people of history who lived before us or after us. Such an infinite existence is really beyond our finite imaginations, thus the description:
"What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man
conceived,
what God has prepared for those how love him."
