FROM THE MINISTER’S DESK
In the Church calendar this coming Sunday is Trinity Sunday. Trinity—the teaching that the one God exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But why is it important? For one thing, Christian faith is rooted in the oneness of being between Jesus Christ and God the Father. According to the gospel Jesus is the manifest face of God; to see Jesus is to see into the heart of the One he calls the Father. If they are not One in being then this relationship is severed and we are left not knowing if God loves us—is Jesus simply a mask God puts on for certain occasions? The doctrine of the Trinity expresses the gospel truth that they are one in being and to know that Jesus loves you is to know that Father loves you and you experience that same love in presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.
