The Mystery of the Trinity

A man saw a boy while talking a walk on the beach. The boy had dug a hole in the sand and was going out to the sea repeatedly, bringing water to pour into the hole. The man asked him, “What are you doing?” “I’m going to pour the entire ocean into this hole.” “That is impossible, the whole ocean will not fit in the hole you have made,” said the man. The boy replied, “And you cannot fit the Trinity in your tiny little brain.” The man had been thinking about the mystery of the trinity. The mystery of the trinity is demystified the closer we get to God.

Each time we close a Christian gathering we often recite or rather share in the grace but many have not given much thought to the wordings of that scripture:

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14, NKJV
It is the grace (a capacity to tolerate, accommodate, or forgive people, the infinite love, mercy, favour, and goodwill shown to humankind by God) of our Lord Jesus Christ that made Him leave the splendour of Haven and relinquished His privileges as God to come die for your sins and mine. He continues to advocate on our behalf daily. 

The Love (an intense feeling of tender affection and compassion, the mercy, grace, and charity shown by God to humanity) of God that made Him choose us. Romans 10:13 "Everyone who calls, "Help, God!' gets help." God is not late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself because of you, holding back the End because he does not want anyone lost. He is giving everyone space and time to change.

The Communion (a relationship, especially one in which something is communicated or shared) of the Holy Spirit that provides us what we need as we fellowship with God and each other. The friendly Spirit of the Truth will take us by the hand and guide us into all the truth there is.


Our part is to believe in God (the triune God) and He will work in our lives in more ways than we can ever know. We cannot totally understand the Trinity because of the limits to our understanding, but we can understand the working of all three Persons of the Trinity in our lives. Moreover, we can worship Him because He is awesome.
