Redeemer Lutheran Church Tucson - Sermon - A Jealous God - 7 June 2020
Jesus prayed, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (John 17:3) Today the Christian Church honors the true God, who reveals himself to us as a Triune God. Triune comes from the Latin Tri (three) and unus (one). God is triune because he is three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but only one God.
Common to the lessons on Trinity Sunday are the interoperation of all three persons of the godhead. It was all three persons of the Trinity who were involved in the work of creation. While Jesus provides salvation through his death and resurrection, it was the Father who sent him into the world, and the Holy Spirit who persuades us to believe in him through the Word. We baptize in the name of all three persons of the Trinity, and we are also blessed (grace, love and fellowship) by all three persons of the Trinity. It is true that we speak frequently and glowingly about the work of Jesus. Yet it is the collective work of all three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - who deserve our praise!
God bless your worship of the only true God.
