Diversity in Unity

The Gospel is Matthew 28:16-203

God is three (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and also One. This is irrational in the minds of some.

We remain Trinitarians because this affirms a deep truth about God: at the heart of the Godhead are diverse persons, whose love is so close and intimate that they are One.

At the heart of the Godhead is diversity. We can look at Creation and see that God must love diversity.

It’s one unending flow of self-giving and receiving. God is perfect giving and receiving.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and imagine a fourth person, humanity in our aggregate. That’s how much God loves us, gives and receives with us.

Sadly, we often let our differences divide us, forgetting that we are created in the image of our Trinitarian God, Each of the persons of the Trinity is not a separate entity. They experience each other from the inside, not from the outside. They mutually indwell.

Jesus prayed that we may be one as He is one with the Father. What if we begin to live into our identity as the fourth members of the Holy Trinity? Wouldn’t this answer Jesus’ prayer?
