Blessings - not saying I can wrap my mind around an infinite God at all, but one thing I know we can know based on scripture regarding the “role” and one purpose in the trinity so I believe we are blessed to consider it, is that each member confirms the others. Then in each we have more revelation of the others and more spiritual understanding of the whole. I kind of get it enough to let it go when I see how I wouldn’t know as much about the One God or any of the members of the trinity without the triune nature. How would we learn more about and draw nearer to God or Father, Son, Spirit more intimately without each of them revealing and emphasizing the others? Then as it relates to us, I think it’s also revealing to see that the emphasis of Father and Spirit is Son. God points us to the way of our salvation as a specific aspect we can identify and relate to but it’s all of Him we need. I just find that fascinating. Its almost like this mystery of Him we can’t understand actually makes His nature more contemplative to us and His instructions for us more manageable because He gives us a place to start contemplating Him and a “to- do” to start to draw closer. Otherwise, without having that starting point and “to do”, I at least feel I would be a whole new level of lost and overwhelmed. Wouldn’t know where or how to start moving toward Him or even thinking about Him. We wouldn’t know Him even as little as we now do without His Triune nature and the way He reveals Himself to us through it. You can see the Father and Spirit point to the Son for our sake. Isn’t that amazing? then once you follow Jesus you’re brought in to God’s presence through His Spirit as He points you to Him. They delight in each other and it’s a really beautiful unity. Beyond us, but I do think you can see how necessary it all is to us as well. You can see our salvation and need in the Trinity as one confirms the other and so on and it’s all about God’s presence and provision. I know we can’t understand it, but I do think you can see a lot of grace in the three in one and ironically, I think you can see it’s actually how God makes Himself accessible to us. I don’t understand Him but I know He is selfless and beyond us in grace just in how Father, Son, and Spirit work together to direct us and somehow they become greater and more whole in that unity to me. Anyway, think it’s amazing how satisfying God is to us in this mystery and enjoy thinking about it.
