徹底した神への信頼。
それは自己を捨てきった姿。
何も持たず、残さず、与えつくし、捨てつくす。
徹底的に圧迫され、捨てられ、破壊されるということを通して示される、赦し。

Hope prepents us from clinging to what we have and frees us to move away from the safe place and enter unknown and fearful territory. This might sound romantic, but when a man enters with his fellow man into his fear of death and is able to wait for him right there, "leaving the safe place" might turn out to be a very difficult act of leadership. It is an act of discipleship in which we follow the hard road of Christ, who entered death with nothing but bare hope.
