Summary
To hope is to be able to live confidently in the present because of an assurance of the future. When the future is uncertain, or seems certainly bad, it makes the present seem overwhelming and hopeless. The hope of the incarnation is that we are the children of God now (because of the work of Jesus) and we will be with Jesus in perfection for eternity in the future. Being sure of this allows to approach the present very differently.
