Trinity Sunday

Tomorrow is one of my favorite days in the church year, it is Trinity Sunday.  The Trinity can not be understood, it cannot be picked apart in clear explanation, and it remains out of our comprehension. However, what we do know about the Trinity is truth. The Trinity has stood as a foundation to our purpose and use as Christians in the World today.


 A few years back, I was in the debate with my degree selection back in college. I was going back and forth with Ecclesiastical Art and or Theological studies.  So I decided to do both, in a different way.
In Fall of 2009, I began to build a Stained Glass Window. The essence of the Trinity was my inspiration. As I look back, I cant believe I finished it! A year and a half went by, and it was complete.

But still, my art does not come close to the understanding of the Trinity. It cannot depict the nature and existence of God in its context, texture, and expression, neither can my words. When I finished, I was so glad to be done. I couldn't look at it for a few months because I still knew it wasn't complete. The window just didn't say it all, not even close.  

 

The Trinity is an important part to the Christian Doctrine. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, One God but yet 3 persons. Their character, purpose, and actions are recorded in the scriptures, but until we see our Lord on the final day we cannot comprehend the Trinity.

The Trinity was also a doctrine not accepted in the religious culture in my home town. It was pressed on my heart to discover and learn more because of its rejection. Where are people refusing this doctrine? What is making more sense to them then the Trinity? My hometown was filled with members of " The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". This doctrine is denied by their church body because it clashes with their understanding of their own purpose.  Perhaps another time I will go into more detail, but as you can see the Trinity was a doctrine pressed against me at a young age.

Here is a blog that I really enjoyed, it focuses on The Trinity and Missions! http://wmpl.org/2013/05/trinity-sunday/ 

 

What we do know about the Trinity is found in the Word of God. As we continue to read about the Father as a sender, the work that Christ did,  and the work of the Holy Spirit  we learn more about each character and their unity with eachother.

 

Praise the Trinity for using all of us in His own time, for His glory and purpose, and for giving us the strength to declare our Lord as Holy.

 

 

Now... I have to teach this to children. :) :) haha. Lord give me the Words.
