Focus Readings Psalm 8, Romans 5:1-5 b. John 16:12-15
Today is Trinity Sunday. Sometimes people say that the doctrine of
the Trinity is an abstract bit of theology invented by theologians.
The truth is that it was actually the way the early church
experienced God. They knew God as the Father in Heaven, God as one
of them who they met face to face in Jesus, and as the inner
witness of the Spirit - God with them. This is what is recorded for
us in the Bible. Later it was written into hymns, songs, creeds and
works of theology. More importantly this is still the experience we
have of God today. As we live life in general, look at the glory of
creation, as we pray and read the Bible, serve those in need, and
join in worship we have a sense of God. For most this is a sense
that God is beyond us, but at the same time became one of us,
beside us in Jesus. Yet also at the same time we have a sense that
God is with us or in us. God is three yet one.
