What gives you hope in this world? For the apostle John, it was the idea of becoming like Jesus at his second coming, as we will become like him when we see him face-to-face. This is to be the hope of every Christian: to see him as he is, face-to-face, without a veil between him and us, so that we can know the satisfaction that comes with living into our created purpose as the adopted and loved children of God.
