First Sunday after Pentecost / Holy Trinity​

Undivided Attention: On the mystery and majesty of God

​​​​​​

Topping the list of things worthy of our undivided attention is God. 
 

Even if we focus long and hard, we will never understand God. That is impossible! Scripture teaches that there is one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yet they are not three gods but one God—perfect in indivisible unity. 
 

Our reason objects, “How can three be one?” So God’s very essence is a mystery, far beyond our ability to comprehend, no matter how long we ponder it. 
 

Yet there are many truths about God that we can grasp. We can understand that God provides for us as a loving Father. We can begin to grasp how much God loves us, for that was made clear in the sacrifice of God the Son. We can understand that every time we gather in the name of our Triune God, the Holy Spirit grants us the greatest of blessings. 

These truths are worthy of our undivided attention!
