The Holy Trinity, Our Great God, Three and One
We wonder at the mystery and majesty of the Trinity- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we can start with the basics: the Father creates, the Son redeems, the Spirit sanctifies. God’s Word gives us the endless implications of this. Today, in the Old Testament Reading from Genesis, we see all three persons are present and active in the creation of the world. In our Reading from Acts, we see all three persons active in the salvation of the world. And in the Holy Gospel from Matthew, we see that all three persons are active in the new life we have as children of God. We have much to celebrate in our Great God, three and one.
The first and second hymn is LSB 507, “Holy Holy Holy”. The third and fourth hymn is LSB 506, “Glory Be to God the Father”. If you have a Lutheran Service Book Hymnal at home, please sing along.
