If you were asked, “What is the hope of the Christian Faith?” How would you answer? Would you say, “life after death?” You wouldn’t be wrong with that answer. But you could do better. You could give a more complete and distinctively Christian answer, one that better reflects what our Lord Jesus accomplished by His death and resurrection. This would be the one we confess every Sunday in the Creed. The hope we believe and confess is the resurrection of the body from the dead to life everlasting. And contemplating this great hope is most beneficial.
