A Sense Of Hope

We think of Abraham's moment of agony when sacrificing Isaac as that moment at the top of the mountain about to slaughter his son but really the agony was the whole journey. And as we go through hardship, we only see the beauty of that hardship when the storm is over and when we can really appreciate the situation we were just put in, in hindsight. Same for Christ's passion, we only see the glory after the Resurrection.
