It is the Sunday we ponder and celebrate the uniqueness of God and the Christian confession of faith about him. It is Holy Trinity Sunday.
It is a difficult thing to try and ponder how God can be altogether one and yet also altogether three. Even the best illustrations of the three-leaf clover or water ice and steam experiment or a tricycle and etc don’t do this mystery any justice.Better to just marvel at God and let him be who he has revealed he is.
We do that today as we also reflect on other beliefs about who God is that abound in our culture. There are many beliefs about who God is. We humans search for God but often don’t listen to what he has revealed about himself in the pages of his Word, but rather, make him in our own image.
One of the current images we have of God seems to be a God who is just making sure the world keeps on ticking. He is distant and impersonal. Another one is that God is here to meet our every need whenever we need it. Another one is that God is meant to help all of us unravel our internal issues and gain help and healing on the inside as we navigate life.
Holy Trinity Sunday is a day to marvel at who God says he is and how good he is and how that makes this life worthwhile and full of hope and love.
