Have you ever met a person who is "religious" and yet says that Jesus is not God? Jesus Himself asserted that he was God, and the leaders of the day wanted to kill him for that. The writers of the New Testament assert the same. If Jesus is not God, He could not have died as a sacrifice for our sins. OK, well, maybe you have all that, but then you think about the person of Christ and realize that he is fully man and fully God. Wait a minute you think, how could that be? There is no other person we have ever met who has this unique characteristic, so its nearly impossible to fathom. Today we are talking about the biblical teaching of the Trinity. One of the popular confessions (Westminster) says this: "In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. The Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son." That's a dense statement and needs to be explained. Today we talk with a pastor who has studied this area in detail. Our guest recommends two books for futher reading: Delighting in the Trinity: An Introduction to the Christian Faith by Michael Reeves, and

The Deep Things of God (Second Edition): How the Trinity Changes Everything by Fred Sanders
