Episode Highlights:
13:53 - This is a way of saying that for love to do the work that Christ calls on us to do, hope must be vibrant and strong underneath it. To the degree that hope fades, love shrivels in its ability to carry out its full mission.
18:07 - But what we're really learning if we look at these passages as we've been doing, is that the problem is not so much with love necessarily. The problem may be that the hope behind the love is not strong enough and enduring enough, that it allows love to persevere in doing good, even when good is not repaid in kind, or even when doing good does not seem to be attaining some desirable outcome.
25:42 - The response, the remedy to a life that is not adequately loving is to go back and shore up the hope that empowers love. To see suffering through, to see injustice through, and not lose faith. And the reason we don't lose faith is because we've spent a lot of time shoring up our confidence in that unseen world. Faith, hope, love. The greatest is love, but hope is the essence of letting love achieve its potential.
