Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

And hope maketh not ashamed - That is, this hope will not disappoint, or deceive. When we hope for an object which we do not obtain, we are conscious of disappointment; perhaps sometimes of a feeling of shame. But the apostle says that the Christian hope is such that it will be fulfilled; it will not disappoint; what we hope for we shall certainly obtain; see Php 1:20. The expression used here is probably taken from Psa 22:4-5; Our fathers trusted in thee; They trusted; and thou didst deliver them.

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

Hope shameth us not - That is, gives us the highest glorying. We glory in this our hope, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts - The divine conviction of God's love to us, and that love to God which is both the earnest and the beginning of heaven.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 829: “The Perfuming of the Heart” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1868)

THE Apostle sets before us a ladder like that which Jacob saw—the foot rests upon the earth, but the top ascends to Heaven. Tribulation is the foot, but we mount as we see that it works patience. And we climb again, for patience works experience. And we ascend yet once again, for experience sustains hope, and hope that makes not ashamed climbs up to the very heart of God—and the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.
