Top Highlights
“Genuine hope is not blind optimism. It is hope with open eyes, which sees the suffering and yet believes in the future. It is only out of disappointment that hope can become wise.” (Page 14)
“What anxiety and hope actually have in common is a sense of what is possible.3 In anxiety we anticipate possible danger. In hope we anticipate possible deliverance.” (Page 40)
“It is the knowledge of the crucified God which gives this vision of the world in God foundation and permanence. The person who believes that God is to be found in the God-forsakenness of the crucified Jesus believes that he sees God everywhere, in all things; just as after we have experienced what death is like, we experience life more intensely every moment, because every moment seems unique.” (Page 79)
“What if it is something that is involved in a continual process of becoming? What if our self-examination has to confess: I am a Christian and a non-Christian at the same time? Faith and doubt struggle within me, so that I have continually to cry out: ‘Lord I believe; help my unbelief!’” (Page 4)
“But in Gethsemane for the first time he does not want to be alone with God. He is afraid of him. That is why he looks to his friends to protect him.” (Page 45)
