Darrell Johnson - Who is God - Episode 7: The Triune God

The Great Commission in Matthew 28 tell us not only that there is a God, but that his is not lonely, or needy: he is triune. At the center of the universe is a relationship, and out if it we were made, and made for it. But for many the trinity is a confusing puzzle, and even offensive. But if we focus on Jesus, we are drawn into the theological grappling that leads to the doctrine of the Trinity. Jesus used terms for himself that God had used with Moses, and his own disciples worshipped him as if he were God. And when he tells his disciples to baptize, he says to do so in the singular name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. For there is no way to preach Jesus without reference to the Trinity. It does not emerge from philosophical, academic towers, but for the lived experience of congregations, pastors, elders, deacons, and small group leaders in the early Church. This doctrine does not resolve the mystery of the Trinity, but preserves it. If we follow Jesus, listen to him, and love him, we will end up at the Trinity.
