People race their theological motors to try to illustrate the Trinity. They say, *It*s like this; it*s like that.* We try to compare God to something. But there*s only one God, so there*s nothing to compare with Him. You can compare one like thing to another, but you can*t compare God with anything because there is no other God. There are reflections of His Trinity in everything—reflections, but not proofs. Time and space make our Universe. Time is past, present, and future. Space is height, width, and depth. All belong together. Each is distinguishable, but all are inseparable. You can*t have a past without a present, you can*t have a present without a future, and you can*t have a future without a past. Each is distinguishable; all are part of one. In each example, three things are distinguishable, and yet they are inseparable, not proof of the Trinity, only a reflection. A wise man said, *Don*t try to explain the Trinity; you*ll lose your mind. Don*t deny it; you*ll lose your soul.* We know of the Trinity by divine revelation as we open the Word of God. The only knowledge we have of the Most High is as He discloses Himself to us. How have you seen the Trinity at work? How does growing in your understanding the Trinity change the way you view Christmas? Praise God this Christmas for all of who He is and thank Him for the reality of His Triune being.
