The teachings of the Christian faith come "from the top down." But not because they are oppressively imposed on us. Rather, they tell us things about God that are too good to be made up, things that we would never believe unless God himself revealed them to us by his Spirit. This week we celebrate the Festival of Trinity. Not only is the concept of the Trinity itself something unique to the Christian faith, but what the Triune God does for us and offers to us is completely unique. Our Triune God invites us into the blessed relationship that is part of his very nature. He makes us not servants or subjects but blessed members of his family!
