I'm a day late...but it's still worthy to post about Holy Trinity Sunday. Yesterday was Holy Trinity Sunday. It's the Sunday after Pentecost.
"This Sunday in the Church Year is called The Holy Trinity. This is the one major celebration in the year that has its focus in a doctrine or teaching. The word "Trinity" cannot be found in the Bible, neither can "Triune." Nonetheless, the teaching or revelation from God is there, and people needed to call it something. The name has also been chosen for a Sunday and more than one congregation.
What is most interesting about all of this is that this particular doctrine or teaching is one of the most complex and difficult in all Christian theology. I always say that is fitting and should not surprise us at all. It helps us to avoid thinking we could ever fully understand God. Anyone who writes a book entitled, "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About God," is either self-deceived or trying to deceive us. We struggle enough with what God has revealed about Himself; there is so, so much more that we could not begin to comprehend."
