Scripture

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19&20)

Reflection:

The word Trinity is quite straightforward to breakdown: “Tri”, meaning Three, and “Unity”, meaning One. Tri-Unity…..“Trinity”. Simple! “Three AND One” in one word…… not so simple! And when it comes to explaining the “Triune God” in a few words….good luck!But that is what Christians proclaim in The Creed; “We believe in: One God, the Father, the Almighty; in Jesus Christ, the only Son of God; in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life.”No one may be able to fully understand or explain the Holy Trinity – “One God, Three persons” - but the Trinity is central to the Christian faith. There is a quotation that says, “If you try to explain the Trinity you will lose your mind. But if you deny it, you will lose your soul.”The Trinity is important!The bottom line is: God wants to be known. We each encounter God from our own unique perspective; and God meets each of us there. So relax and enjoy knowing God; enjoy knowing that God knows you, and loves you. (“One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit”.) Simple!
