What’s Trinity Sunday?
I really like superhero movies! I just watched one of my favorites, The Avengers on Miss Julie’s tablet this afternoon. And it gave me an idea for this column.
The Avengers are so cool! They all have different powers. Like Thor and his Hammer, Hawkeye and his bow and arrow, Captain America, who’s really strong and Ironman with all his tech stuff. Everybody is part of the team, and everybody is important. When Earth needs it mightiest heroes, they suit up and come to the rescue.
Together they are one team, The Avengers!
When I got to thinking about what Trinity Sunday is all about, first I gave myself a headache because thinking sometimes does that. I am just a puppy after all.
Then Miss Julie reminded me that I am also a reporter, and if I have a question, I should look for an answer. So I did. And here’s what I found.
Trinity Sunday explains that God is one being but exists in three different forms: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. It's a special day to remember and celebrate this belief. It’s an important part of what we Christians believe.
God the Father is the one who created everything and loves us all. God the Son is Jesus. He came to Earth as a person, lived among us, and showed us how to love like God. The Holy Spirit is God's power and love, helping us understand God's message and live a good life.
All three are important, but they’re all God.
These three parts of God work together and are all part of the one God.
It helps us understand that God is in our lives in different ways, like when we hear the Bible (Father), when we see Jesus in the world (Son), and when we feel God's presence within us (Spirit).
And when we need God, which we always do, He is with us. One way or another.
