Ultimate Hope


"Having ultimate hope does not mean we will always be rescued from proximate problems, but we will be rescued from everlasting death! Meanwhile, ultimate hope makes it possible to say the same three words used centuries ago by three valiant men. They knew God could rescue them from the fiery furnace, if He chose. "But if not," they said, nevertheless, they would still serve Him!" (Dan. 3:18.)    —Neal A. Maxwell, "Brightness of Hope," Ensign, Nov. 1994, 34

Dear Gar,




     Did you know that the word "hope" years ago used to refer to something that could be truly counted on.  It did not refer to crossing ones fingers in an effort of wishful thinking the way it does today.




     When Christ is refered to in the scriptures (King James english) as our "one sure Hope", he is being refered to as the one person we can count on no matter what.  I have often thought what an appropriate word "hope" is to use when talking about our Savior.




     Have a great evening!

Thank you for your clearer understanding of the term "Hope." That's what is meant in the hymnal with the phrase "Hope of Israel.".


I used to know a girl in Vegas named Hope. She was tall and lanky and always kind to me. I liked her like crazy, but she never knew of my fondness for her. She was a foot taller than me, but we got along well.  lol  Gar
