I and the Father are one (John 10:30)
One day Augustine (354-430), an early church leader, was walking by the sea while contemplating the mystery of the Trinity. There he saw a small child playing with sea shells. The boy dug a hole in the sand, walked towards the sea, filled his shell with water, then poured the seawater into his mineral hole.
Augustine then asked, "What are you doing?" The boy replied, "I want to pour the sea into this hole." Then Augustine thought, Just like that kid, that's what I'm trying to do. The mystery of the Trinity is like an infinite ocean. And I was standing on the shores of that ocean, trying to fit all these infinite mysteries into my finite mind.
The concept of the Trinity would not fit into a general logical framework. Nor can it be fully analyzed by our minds. But there is no reason to think of the Trinity as merely an invention of theologians. The claim that one God claims to be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is simply an attempt to explain the teachings of the Scriptures (John 10:29,30; Acts 5:3,4).
Entrusting our lives to the Trinity of God means beginning to see His greatness as our Creator, Redeemer, and Helper with the lens of faith. Doesn’t it make sense if the single God we worship, the place we dedicate our lives to, must be far greater than our limited understanding? --Dennis De Haan
