“When I gaze to the skies and meditate on Your creation - on the moon, stars, and all You have made; I can’t help but wonder why You care about mortals - sons and daughters of men” ~Psalm 8:3-4 (The Voice)
We recently used Trinity Sunday to talk a bit about The Trinity. Traditionally it is understood and Father (God), Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit (God’s Spirit working in us). Other definitions include Creator and Redeemer and Sustainer, and also Creator and Savior and Life-Renewer.
The concept was developed several generations into the life of the early Christian church through two church conferences 60 years apart.
Since then some scholars have made it their life’s work to explain what it is and is not – taking that all the way down the smallest detail.
I do appreciate their discipline and passion…
…however…
…being more of a ‘billboard’ theologian (i.e. can we say it using no more than 10 words?)…
…can we instead look at this as our psalm writer does?
Let that open-ended question invite us to marvel and bask in the love of our God of all Creation…
…and as we let that wash over us…
…we find our peace knowing that with all of that everything God’s is…
…God is only too glad to have that include you…me…us.
We wonder and marvel and bask Sundays at 10AM in-person and virtually too (email prinevillepc@gmail.com and we’ll send the invite).
Together We Serve (and wonder),
Pastor Mike
