The Recovery of Hope
By Pastor Joe Morecraft, III
Hope and fear have played a large part in the human story. They will continue to be potent factors in the life of man, until hope is swallowed up in fruition, and fear is
consummated in despair.
They define two attitudes of soul, two postures of spirit, towards the things that are yet to be. Each looks into the future-the one with desire, the other with dread. They are the obverse and reverse sides of the same emotion; hope is the expectation of future good, and fear is the dread of future evil. The dictionaries and metaphysicians define hope as desire based on expectation, and fear as aversion based on apprehension. Happiness describes that state of mind in which hope is realized, and despair that state of heart into which all fears have come. Heaven is hope attained; Hell is fear realized.
