The unity of Father Son Spirit cannot be divided and yet each member fully
present in the other is also distinct. Attempting to say something about each
One in Three while preserving the Three in each One is a tip toe through the
tulips of heresy, but I will press on, gingerly! In the time before time began
the One who was not created called forth the heavens and the earth setting the
stars like jewels in the crown of space. From infinite imagination the One who
was not created called forth living beings weaving them together with the
fabric of the earth. When all was said and done and very good the One who was
not created formed in the image of the Infinite Imagination a creature both
beautiful and terrible. Given our drive to exercise dominion over all things,
including the One who imagined us, God would do well to be mindful of mortals for God’s
own sake. That might not be so far from the truth. The first article of the
faith names the One who created the heavens and the earth as God the Father
Almighty. It is the parent in the Infinite Imagination that is mindful of the
children created in the image of God. Love for the child will move that same
One who was not created to inhabit mortal flesh and be crowned with glory and
honor, not in the heavens but on a “hill far away.” Love for the child will
move that same One who was not created to inspire the mouths of babes and
infants and the young and the old to sing Alleluia when the enemy and the
avenger, death itself, is swallowed up in victory. The One in Three and Three
in One is bound together by love for the children both beautiful and terrible
until and for the day when the children of the Infinite Imagination are perfected
in the eternal future. O God, our God, how majestic is your name!
