blessed hope

Expected future glory

Blessed hope is a Christian term for the anticipated return of Jesus Christ, drawn from the New Testament book of Titus.

The phrase captures the expectation that Christ will return to gather believers and establish his kingdom.

It appears frequently in evangelical and fundamentalist contexts, where Christ's second coming remains a central doctrine: We live in anticipation of the blessed hope.
