What does it mean to have hope in Christ?

In the sermon, hope in Christ is described as an abiding certainty based on His resurrection and promise of eternal life. Since Christ has already defeated death, believers can have confidence that death is not the end but a passage to glory. This hope transforms our perspective on life, allowing us to face trials without despair. The assurance that we will be resurrected into glorified bodies fosters a joyful anticipation of eternal communion with God, anchoring our faith in the truth of the Gospel.
