Abstract:
This article concerned itself with the notion of Christian hope, in the midst of suffering, where
this hope will find its energy from within a relationship with God and his people. Hope in God
finds its substance from our past, our present and our future relationship with God. Because of
this relationship, Christian hope urges caregivers and care seekers into action, enabling them
to resist evil and bringing liberation in suffering.
