The Importance of Hope in the Resurrection

"The resurrection is not a sign that points us to something beyond itself," he says. "It directs all of our hopes to this one particular man and this one particular event." He asks: Are you putting your confidence in your suffering? Or are you putting it in Jesus?" We must point to Jesus, who ultimately suffered as God's ultimate provision for our failure,. So we look to Jesus in the midst of our trial and know that we can be sure that we will be refined by his love.
