The Word

 

    God is in Heaven.  He is the ultimate being.  None of us can really imagine his appearance to clarity, but we all have some image in our head.  Jesus was human so we know what his form was like, even if we have not seen him for ourselves yet.  Have you ever imagined what the Holy Spirit's image or appearance?  As a child I always imagined a dove.  Now that I am older, it understand that He resides in us.  But what about His image?  I now imagine that the image of the Holy Spirit is in God's Word.

    Jesus is a blessing to us all because he made the Word flesh.  He made the holy trinity a reality and not just this unattainable thing.  He more or less gave God a face.  He placed God's boundaries and expectations into reality.  He opened the door for us to be able to have a real relationship with God.  

    God gave us the gift of boundaries.  He gave us law and order to our lives through Moses.  Together with Jesus they gave us truth and grace.  The truth is brought to life and lives within us through the Holy Spirit.  

    The Holy Spirit gives us wisdom and mercy.  He teaches us how to love and respect all living things.  The relationship with the Trinity gets stronger every day if we spend time with him in reading the Word, prayer, and meditation.  All you have to do is recognize that they are one God together.  

    The Trinity always have been and always will be.  They gave us time and space, so we see things linear.  They are not tied down to those types of boundaries.  You don't have to understand, but you do have to believe.  

    They created our beginning and they have already designed our end because they are life.  They give light (purpose) to life.  They cover all darkness (evil) in the world.  Why do we not recognize the creature of life?  They each have been revealed independently and together.  

    That is why John 1:1 is one of the most powerful verses in the entire Bible.  It introduces them completely to those whom seek to understand.  John the Baptist did the best he could to introduce Jesus to the world.  He understood so much more than everyone else at the time.  Today he is still introducing Jesus to the world.
