![“[Faith] sees in the resurrection of Christ not the eternity of heaven, but the future of the very earth on which his cross stands. It sees in him the future of the very humanity for which he died. That is why it finds the cross the hope of the earth.” quote by Jürgen Moltmann](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6d7/j-rgen-moltmann-9122_eschatology_faith-sees-in-the-resurrection-of-christ_251702.jpg)
