In one way or another, God makes sure that we all experience what it means to be outside so that he can personally open the door and welcome us back in.

33–36Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It’s way over our heads. We’ll never figure it out.

Is there anyone around who can explain God?

Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do?

Read in Logos
