Celebrating the Mystery and Majesty of the Triune God
Greetings all, some of the greatest challenges of modernity reside not in the amazing scientific and technological breakthroughs that we are witnessing in the world today, but rather in the inner heart issues that humanity has grappled with since the fall. Things like purpose and meaning, loneliness, fear and anxiety, guilt and shame, uncertainty and doubt. Materialism cannot address these deep needs of the soul because these are rooted in the spiritual, emotional and existential dimensions of the human experience. My contention is that these issues can actually find resolution in a mystery that is older than time.
This Trinity Sunday, we explore the profound truth of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and we will consider how the Trinity might speak into the struggles of the heart. In a world of screens, of notifications, tasks, and a constant demand on your attention, time and energy, we might wonder if anyone truly sees us or knows us. Despite the ability to connect with billions of people instantaneously, studies are showing an increasing loneliness in this digital age. Similarly, there is a wealth of things to occupy ourselves and yet we are still asking “what’s my purpose?” We sit in the uncertainties of life, the health challenges, the broken relationships and we try to satisfy our yearnings with anything that might give us even temporary relief. So often we overlook the idea of the transcendent or the eternal.
The Trinity invites us into this space. Our mighty and mysterious Triune God, in His very being, can help us to deal with the trials of our human experience and to find peace amid the storms of life. As we navigate our reality, our normal lives; the Trinity might be calling us to explore and consider a God that is beyond us, around us and who seeks to dwell within us. This week we relook at Matthew 28:18-20 (The Great Commission), please take a moment to meditate on this passage and the mission that God calls each one of us to.
Blessings
Josh
