Trinity Sunday

  Trinity Sunday always stretches the minds of preachers and those listening. So many attempts to find the appropriate metaphor to explain the Trinity. It’s a bit like the TARDIS of Dr Who fame. What’s inside the phone box is impossibly large for the phone boxes dimension and yet those know love Dr Who accept it is so. I think God is like this we get caught up in trying to describe what is indescribable. Larger than the limits of any words.  When I was a bit younger I really disliked being told "it's a mystery" as an explanation to things like the Trinity. When I was a teenager I wanted everything explained because I needed to know everything. I find as the years go by I realize I know less and less and what’s even more surprising is I am ok with that. The questions are often more interesting that the answers. Trinity is about the fullness of God and every time I try to use words to explain it I fail. Dare I say it “is a mystery”.
