THE MOST HOLY TRINITY - The DYNAMIC LOVE of GOD!
Today we give thanks to God for the revelation through Jesus Christ that the one true God is also a communion of three persons – Father, Son & Holy Spirit. This great revelation is hinted at in the Old Testament but it is only with the coming of Jesus that this fullness of God’s identity is shared explicitly with the human family. The Most Holy Trinity is a relationship of love – a generous, self-giving love from which we all draw our own lives and to which we are all invited to return. The dynamic love of the Trinity is like the power of the oceans in our world – their love is like the waves which come towards us on the shore and then draw us back into the depths of God’s mystery.
This is what Jesus reveals to us – that this dynamic Trinity is always in movement towards us and always drawing us towards itself. The first movement came from the heart & mind of God, fathering all creation, bringing us into existence through his love. However, human sin led to our rebellion against God – our movement away from Him and into slavery. And so the second movement of God towards us was the sending of His Son as our Saviour (“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.” John 3:16). Jesus entered fully into our human existence in all ways except sin so that he could then lead us back to the Father. This return from slavery into freedom is finally made possible by the third movement of God towards us – the sending of the Holy Spirit, which we of course celebrated last weekend at Pentecost. It is the Spirit who leads us into the fullness of God’s truth, uniting us as a people of God, purifying and preparing us to take our place within the love of the Trinity in eternal life.
The Trinity seems very complicated but it is beautifully simple – it is the God of love reaching out to us & inviting us to move ever closer to Him. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit!
