Trinity and the God who drips...

Luke 2:21 When all the people were being baptized [by John the Baptist, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

Many people view this as a very important passage. It is one of the places in scripture where all three persons of the trinity are all see together. Jesus (fully God) was still dripping wet from being baptized, the holy spirit (fully God) landed on him, and the Father (Also fully God) was declaring his pleasure with his son.

I am not sure how to explain the trinity... It is a mystery of God. What is more clear is that the Bible clearly speaks of each person of the trinity as God.

What is really significant is that in this passage we see a picture of the relational nature of God. At the very nature of God is relationship... and eternal relationship of Father Son and Holy spirit. If God himself is a relational being.

We are also created for relationship. Often we think that faith is personal and private, but faith is meant to be expressed in a community with other believers. We need each other...
