"The hope of the righteous will be gladness, But the expectation of the wicked will perish."(Proverbs 10:28 NKJV)
Apart from our Lord Jesus, there is no hope. He is the way, the truth and the life - no one can come to the Father except through Him, His holy and written word declares.
The warning is clear. The wicked is destined to perish and what he expects perishes, until he repents, turn away from wickedness and come to Jesus at the foot of the cross.
Jesus is the blessed hope for the world that He loves. He calls everyone to come to His throne of grace. He'll make us righteous in God's eyes if we accept Him into our hearts. We will be filled with gladness as we wait the blessed hope of His coming. As it is written - "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. (Titus 2:11-14 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
