Preaching Hope (A Guest Blog)

From Dr. Rob O’Lynn’s guest post: “Full confession: I am a sucker for hope. I think St. Paul got it wrong. At the end of his famous meditation on love, he writes this: “And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13, NRSV). I do not dispute the importance that the apostle gives to these three virtues, virtues which serve as the core of Christianity’s ethical expression. I disagree with him on which one he thinks is most important. Hope can outlast love.”
