Trinity Sunday

Those of us of a certain age—and who also liked Led Zeppelin—will remember Larry Norman. He’s considered a pioneer of Christian rock music and released more than 100 albums during his career. A lyric from one of his songs I still remember almost five decades later goes like this, “The Beatles said all you need is love. Then they broke up.”

It’s true. Though it’s difficult to maintain—and we really struggle to get it right—love is the thing we all know we need. We’re literally made for love because we're created in the image of a God who is love.

But “God is love” only makes sense if God is Trinity.

A solitary God cannot be love. He may yearn for love. He may even learn to love. But he cannot himself be love, since love requires an object. It requires relationship. It requires community.And this has an implication or two for our lives together.

See you Sunday.
