 That is our hope. And when the scriptures talk about Christian hope, it doesn't mean wishful thinking. Instead, it means a sure and certain hope because this is God's hope. It's not just man's hope. This is God's hope. When man hopes for something, we don't know how it's going to work out. But when God hopes for something, he does know. And so this is not just a wish, but this is the good and gracious will of our loving Heavenly Father.
