Trinity Sunday

TRINITY SUNDAY
12 of 12
John 15:16
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name.”

“It’s getting cold” Miguel said, as he threw Bobby the ball. “Should we stop practicing our ball skills through the winter?”

Bobby caught the ball, agreeing, “It is hard to throw ball wearing a mitt on one hand and a different glove on the other.” He threw a grounder to Jules. “What do you think?”

Jules fielded the grounder. Standing tall, she began, “Well, I didn’t want to mention anything, but my coat’s too heavy for me to throw how I want.” She threw a high ball to Miguel.

“OK,” Miguel caught the ball, saying, “We could return to ball throwing when we’re back to wearing jackets. Cool?” He threw the ball to Bobby.

Bobby caught his ball, and said, “I’m glad that I’m not the only one who’s ready to hang up my glove until spring” throwing the ball to Jules.

Jules caught the ball saying, “I’ve had a lot of fun, and feel way more confident with my ball skills, now. Thanks for playing and sharing your faith with me.” She threw the ball into her gloved hand. “Spring will be here before we know it!”

The three kids Miguel, Jules, and Bobby might remind us of our Blessed Trinity’s three persons. They came together, each with their own talents, working towards a common goal—improving their ball playing. The Holy Trinity—three persons, each with different jobs, merge as one God working towards one goal—human salvation. Each person is fully, equally God. This doesn’t have to make sense to humans, but aren’t we grateful for the Holy Trinity?

The bell rang, and they walked into the school together. Miguel wrapped up their recess ball throwing practice with, “Next year this time, we’ll be in fifth grade!”

Biblical Holy Days is way more complicated than what these twelve devotions discuss, but seeing the differences and likenesses between our faiths brings us closer to God and others. That’s the whole point, isn’t it? These twelve devotions cover the New Testament Holy Days, contrasted to a few Old Testament Festivals. Jesus ushered in God’s New Covenant—and it is Him. Partaking of the Lord’s Supper, or Holy Communion, is how we honor Jesus. We remember His sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins, accepting His gifts of salvation and everlasting life.

The Blessed Trinity’s a God Who always has our back.
To the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we give three cheers.
With three persons attending us, there’s nothing we lack.
Hallelujah to the God Who calms every fear!
