Hope:
Hope is defined as:
1.
the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best: to give up hope.
2.
a particular instance of this feeling: the hope of winning.
3.
grounds for this feeling in a particular instance: There is little or no hope of his recovery.

5.

The first meaning for Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. An example of this hope would that you are hoping that you will win this race. You are hoping that you get that ipod for Christmas this year.
The second meaning was that Hope is a particular instance of this feeling. This depicts the emotion of hope in that moment. When you hear this particular song you are filled with an instance of hope. Or when you watch a particular show it fills you will hope.
The third meaning of Hope is the grounds for this feeling in a particular instance. You are hoping in something. Your hoping that he will recover.
The fourth meaning is a person or thing in which expectations are centered. Our last hope is that they will reconsider your resume. We put our hope in Jesus Christ.

The bible tells us to put our hope in the Lord. He is our Hope. Jesus is Hope.
