The Trinity is a mystery and yet, something that has been revealed since the beginning. It is not an abstract doctrine created by the New Testament, but is the reality of God, revealed throughout the Old Testament. It is merely made crystal clear in the New Testament.

The doctrine of the Trinity is a belief that separates Christianity from all other religions. This faith is set apart through this distinction, but what is the Trinity exactly? We can’t nail down or fully comprehend, but we can have some aspect of understanding regarding who God is in himself. He has revealed himself as the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit through his work of creation and redemption and called us into the very eternal community that he has had in himself. Father Jeremiah gives us a quick look at the Apostles’ Creed and how it reveals the trinitarian nature of Christian faith.

It is Trinity Sunday and Father Jeremiah leads us through a teaching on the Trinity and the work of God as three persons. He uses the Apostles’ Creed as our guide and opens our eyes to the amazing work of overflowing love that comes from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus can tell his disciples and us to not be afraid and to not let our hearts be troubled because of the great hope that he sets before us. What is that hope? Our hope is the coming of the Holy Spirit and the coming of the new Jerusalem. Both of these are a reality for us today. Listen now to find out how this is.
