Our lives as exiles are built on the foundation and mystery of a Living Hope. Because we have this foundation, we have a strong identity and access to great wisdom. The Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, are at work within us creating our exile and alien status. This process is such a mystery that even the ancient prophets and angels in heaven are amazed and perplexed by the grace we, Gentiles, have been given.
