"But hope stands in an altogether different orientation to time. Hope is born in the future - a future that is not out ahead us, but that is completely new reality, even now in small ways breaking into our lives. Hope is trust that though the monster may take me, though death may strike me, it cannot destroy me, for a future is on its way that stands in direct opposition to my present. A future is on its way that has no place for death, where death has been extracted and destroyed, where death has been evaporated by the white hot heat of God's Love. This future (in its finality) is not here yet, but hope knows that it is on its way."
