Far from being a sort of featherbed in which the Christian can lie down and take his ease, the Christian hope is a springboard to action, hurling the Christian into even greater concern for his fellow Christians and for others. Hope for the future, for death and beyond, fits the Christian even better for this life, for love for his neighbor, and for the task of taking the Gospel to all people, so that they too may be brought to salvation. -- Henry Hamann, *On Being a Christian* p. 81
