The Trinity

Sometimes I think we should be more tempted to laugh at the gospel than we are, not in derision but in sheer surprise and awe.

The Trinity is a handy shorthand for all that God has done to justify sinners.

As astounding as co-eternity and co-equality with the Father in majesty and glory is, this is not the most significant answer Jesus gave in this Gospel reading, not for us at least.

Our daily remembrance of baptism, our daily dying and rising, is a daily joining to Jesus and His death and resurrection for us.
