I've been thinking a lot about the 'Trinity' and the triangle used often in theology books to describe these three 'persons' and that diagram falls so far short.
We can relate to Jesus. He became one of us. He always was. We were created in His image and He was incarnated in time. We can relate to Him and He emptied Himself to relate to us.
The Father is beyond us. He is a person separate from the Spirit but we can not fathom Him... infinite... regal... fierce... wise... loving... seeing... Holy... high above all that we can now know.
The Spirit also. If we believe He dwells in us but He is like the wind. We are inspired, taught and encouraged but He Is doing that with many of us simultaneously... so misunderstood... many see Him as a thing and He doesn't even correct them... He is involved in ways and on layers of humanity we can't fathom.
Three persons... Yes... But a triangle doesn't cover the eternal flow of that unbreakable but once broken relationship... broken at the cross for a 'moment' to let us in again. The flow... the love... the honor... the care...
Jesus brings us into that flow... that embrace... we get glimpses... we know enough to use a phrase like... Holy Trinity... even though the majority of that dynamic reaches out beyond what we can see or sense.
