“The secret things belong to
the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever,
that we may observe all the words of this Law.” Deuteronomy 29:29
“All scripture is inspired by
God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in
righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good
work.” II
Timothy 3:16
“There
are three separate Beings, with different identities and different roles. They are all God, but there is only one
God. Yet the Father is not the Son, the
Son is not the Spirit and the Spirit is not the Father, although they are all
the One God! The fact that this exceeds
our understanding should not bother us unduly.
If God is God we would expect aspects of His Being and methods of His
working to be outside of our limited understanding.”*
There
is something in us all that brings joy from solving mysteries, whether it is a Rubik’s
Cube, a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, a TV mystery, etc. We love to figure out who done it, how it was
done and why. This must be one of the
most common drivers in the human heart.
It is also probably why many pre-Christians delay their decision to
accept the free gift of gracious salvation from Jesus...because there seems too
much a mystery to it. Some things we can
never understand and must accept with humility and trust. The Trinity is one of these things.
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
