Jesus is the hope of glory. He brought His expectation through His faith. His expectation brings real hope that is incapable of disappointment.
Romans 5:5, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
His faith creates expectation of hope, righteousness, life and continuous glory!!!
Galatians 5:5, “For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.”
If Jesus isn’t there then it is my expectation (from the old man) apart from Christ based on self-imposed law creating enmity and hostility towards God because I am not the Testator of the New Covenant and I cannot fulfill any law. Only Christ can in me and through me by His faith and grace.
Also, If I know something or simply if I know then I expect all the time. I expect because I know. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not yet seen.
