Foundation of Hope?

It is on the humanity of Christ she said after some musing, that all my other reasons for hoping for such a heaven as I hope for rest for foundation. He knows exactly what we are, for he has been one of us—exactly what we hope and fear and crave, for he has hoped and feared and craved, not the less humanly, but only more intensely. If it were not so—do you take in the thoughtful tenderness of that? A mother stilling her frightened child in the dark, might speak just so—if it were not so, I would have told you. That brooding love makes room for all that we can want. He has sounded every deep of a troubled and tempted life. Who so sure as he to understand how to prepare a place where troubled and tempted lives may grow serene? Further than this—since he stands as our great Type, no less in death and after than before it, he answers for us many of these lesser questions on the event of which so much of our happiness depends.
