This is an icon of the Holy Trinity that I have fallen in love with. It is so beautifully depicted and shows us the reason behind the Trinity.
On this Holy Trinity Sunday we talk about one of the doctrines of the church that we do not understand or comprehend. We try to explain the Trinity through things we know…
Like an egg – it is 3 things in 1 – a shell, white and yolk…
Or an apple – it is 3 in 1 – skin, meat, and seeds…
Yet you can have an egg shell all by itself, and you can not have one member of the Trinity without another…
So what is the Trinity all about…
Romans 8:12-17 tells us how we are children of God and heirs of the kingdom. Everything that is God’s will be ours. And we are co heirs of everything with Christ. Why do we deserve this? We are sinners and are not like Christ, but God does it, and that is what we get. The familial relationships that can not be broken over time. Just like that brother or sister you love to hate – you are stuck with, and you are stuck with God, because He wants it that way.
So remember that Trinity is about relationship. The 3 in 1 is a relationship and the above icon shows us the relationship that is open, see the space at the bottom of the icon? That is the space that is open because the Trinity is not complete, there is space there for you.
You are invited into the dance with the trinity, into relationship that will change your world forever!
