For us Christians the Trinity is sometimes assumed, overlooked. We say, “The Trinity. Ah, of course: three-in-one. Water, snow, ice. Got it.” The Trinity becomes a dusty Sunday school fact, not a fresh-every-day source of wonder. The doctrine of the Trinity is foundational to the Christian faith. It is crucial for properly understanding what God is like, how he relates to us, and how we should relate to him. But it also raises many difficult questions. How can God be both one and three? Is the Trinity a contradiction? If Jesus is God, why do the Gospels record instances where he prayed to God? The Rev. Ian Powell takes a closer look at the wonder and beauty of The Trinity and how understanding God as triune is a theology-driving, awe-inspiring, life-giving truth.
