I recently read an article in the Orlando Sentinel about a 55-year-old man named James Bain. When he was 19, he was wrongfully convicted of raping a young boy and sentenced to life in prison. Thanks to Florida's Innocence Project as well as new DNA forensics testing, Bain is now a free man but only after spending 35 years behind bars. To read the article, see http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-10-23/news/os-innocence-bain-20....
How easy would it have been for Bain to give up, to throw his hands in the air and not even try to assert his innocence? His hope that he would be cleared gave him the patience to endure his incarceration. And just like him, we too have a hope, the hope of heaven. Like Paul said, "If we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience" (v. 25).
