Trinity (Jesus)

Trinity simple means "triunity."  God is not a simple unity; there is plurality in his unity. The Trinity is one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith. Unlike an antimony or paradox, which is a logical contradiction, the Trinity goes beyond reason but not against  reason. It is known only by divine revelation, so the Trinity is not the subject of natural theology but of revelation.

The word Trinity is not used in the Bible, the concept is clearly taught in the Bible. The logic of the Trinity is simple. Two biblical truths are evident in the Scripture, the logical conclusion of which is the Trinity:

1)There is one God.
2) There are three distinct persons who are God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus is God. The Son is God. Jesus claimed to be Yahweh God. YHWH translated in some versions Jehovah, was the special name of God revealed to Mosses in Exodus 3:14, when God said said "I am who I am." In John 8:58, Jesus declares: "Before Abraham was, I am." This statement claims not only existence before Abraham, but equality with the "I am" of Exodus 3:14. The Jews around Him clearly understood His meaning and picked up stones to kill Him for blaspheming (Mark 14:62; John 8:58; 10:31-33; 18:5-6). Jesus also said, "I am the first and the last (Revelation 2:8).

Jesus took the glory of God. Isaiah wrote, "I am the Lord [Yahweh], that is my name; I will not give to another, or my praise to idols" (42:8) and, "This is what the Lord [Yahweh] says....I am the first, and I am the last; apart from me there is no God" (44:6). Likewise, Jesus prayed, Father, glorify me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began" (John 17:5). But Yahweh had said He would not give His glory to another.

Peace in 2020

We live in an world that is going crazy. If you get on the social media, there is always the next big scare. People are trying to find comfort in this cold and jaded world.

Many people will smoke marijuana to ease their stress, their issues are not being solved.
Many people will party, their issues are not being solved.

If we want true peace then we need to put Jesus as number one in our lives. We need to know that Jesus is the Maker and He knows all. Anything else will not cut it.

I have been walking a lot and praying more. I have been asking the Lord to guide me. I am not the guy that smoke marijuana but I can put idols over God. We sell out our trust to easy for cheap gains.

Do we understand how great is our Jesus? Hebrews 13:20-21 says, " Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
