All of them fall short. Anything and any way we try to explain God will fall short. If we can fully explain God, then well how divine is He then? We will never 100% understand His ways, but we can try and find ways to explain. At the end of the day He is the One who helps us understand and believe that which we should understand and believe. </p><p><br /></p><p>The below explaining of the trinity I read in a book that a missionary wrote, who was in Afghanistan for several years, until she had to flee the country, in fact her Muslim neighbours asked her to leave as they heard what was being planned for her, and they were fearing for her life. </p><p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/13222256" target="_blank">In the land of Blue Burqas Kate McCord</a><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrCvqXAIQ9ixPqj2EcqsQ_eY-ebZoiEH5ggJ5LEuxs1unljENkivUGO2Z7Gl3Q8cxmfQilJRz3JiNkb8euNF5eDluXkSJONjEgYlNi8CYsa9RQMrE0AJDXqu7zjrAcmgkLvvBQ5IBEjiyV2PRidDp73dxDhHdz5jtjJ1HrUw-JGsszV2I8jv5AU6DCk0/s475/13222256.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="308" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrCvqXAIQ9ixPqj2EcqsQ_eY-ebZoiEH5ggJ5LEuxs1unljENkivUGO2Z7Gl3Q8cxmfQilJRz3JiNkb8euNF5eDluXkSJONjEgYlNi8CYsa9RQMrE0AJDXqu7zjrAcmgkLvvBQ5IBEjiyV2PRidDp73dxDhHdz5jtjJ1HrUw-JGsszV2I8jv5AU6DCk0/s320/13222256.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><br /><p>It is probably one of the best explanations on the trinity that I have heard, but of course it is not perfect. It will also fall terribly short amongst people that believe in nature worship and such like things. </p><p>But anyways here goes: </p><p>The Trinity is God the Father, God the Son - Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. </p><p>This can be likened to God the Father being the sun. The light that the sun gives is Jesus, and the warmth that the sun gives the Holy Spirit. It all comes from the sun, but different. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the sun is a created thing by God, but we can use the metaphor to try and explain. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Yes, the remarks and the people that gave them are forgiven, but sometimes a reminder pops us and it still sting. Just a reminder to forgive again. Whether the remarks were made intentionally or unintentionally, it does not matter. And I am posting this... because maybe you received remarks that stung, about something that you believed were what you were supposed to do, and stopped doing it. Forgive and give it over to God. Leave it in His Hands, and do what He called you to do. </p><p><b style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></b></p><p><b style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Was it not necessary that the Christ (Messiah/ The Promised One) should suffer these things and enter into His glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself."</span></b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></b>I don't claim this to be an exhaustive list of all the prophecies pointing to Messiah's death, and resurrection. (If you have any more verses, of either a prophecy or its fulfillment, or both, please feel free to send me a message with them). This list is about the prophecies about Messiah's death and resurrection and the occurrences that went along with it. Perhaps later on I will do another blog post on what this promised Messiah will do, and one on His birth. This blog specifically focuses on His death and resurrection. </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p></p><p>If you are a believer, I pray that this will strengthen and deepen your walk with the Lord. If you are someone who is seeking, please go and read these verses in the Bible, and may Messiah reveal Himself to you. If you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him - He will reveal Himself to you, send people (believers) across your way. He works in so many ways. Jeremiah 29:13. </p><p>Something else to consider when you study these verses... the prophets lived hundreds and hundreds of years before Jesus walked on this earth. The events took place exactly as said it would. Did the Roman soldiers knew they were fulfilling prophecy when they casted lots about his tunic? Definitely not. They didn't even believe in the God of the Bible. Did He came for them, and paid the debt of their sin too? Of course He did. Did they know that it was prophesied He would be "numbered with the transgressors"? No. Did it happen that way - Of course yes. </p><p><br /></p><p>He gave His life for us John 10:14-18 John 19:30 </p><p>Additional cross reference: Ezekiel 34- He promised a good shepherd to come. </p><p><br /></p><p>He will rebuild the temple in 3 days - The reference being He is the temple.

On December 23 they arrived at Obendorff, a village near Salzburg, where they were to act out the story of Christ's birth in the small Church of St. Nicholas.</span> Unfortunately the church organ was damaged by flood waters. (In the 1890's the whole church was destroyed by a flood as well, and rebuilt some distance away.) After watching this play, the pastor, Josef Mohr, walked to a hilltop overlooking the small town, and pondered on the Christmas play. This made him remember a poem he wrote some years before that. He thought it can be used as a song. However, the church organ is not working and will not be repaired anytime soon, so they need to find some other instrument that they can use, despite the strong tradition that only the organ should be used. And he needed to find someone that can compose the melody to the words of his poem. So he quickly found the paper where he wrote this poem, and visited <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Xaver_Gruber&source=gmail&ust=1630503100945000&usg=AFQjCNFNC7wwDNfua7lnizpCFm5Op7ZPoA" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Xaver_Gruber" style="background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #1155cc; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Franz Xaver Gruber">Franz Xaver Gruber</a><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">, who was the schoolmaster and the church's </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organist&source=gmail&ust=1630503100945000&usg=AFQjCNGBW2q28qfzKrtjQw3Q_nzzr-hZuA" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organist" style="background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #1155cc; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Organist">organist</a>, who lived<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> in the nearby village of </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamprechtshausen&source=gmail&ust=1630503100945000&usg=AFQjCNGE41Dvk5PiwWqkNAtxL63PB-5v7g" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamprechtshausen" style="background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #1155cc; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Lamprechtshausen">Arnsdorf</a>. Gruber then composed a guitar melody that same day, and the song was first sung in this little church in Obendorff on Christmas Eve of 1818. </span></div><div><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: black;">Some weeks later the organ builder, <span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Karl Mauracher</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">,</span> arrived to repair the organ. When he was finished, he let Gruber test the organ. Gruber then played the Silent Night melody he composed. </span></div><div><span style="color: black;">Mauracher was deeply touched by this, took the music to his own hometown and shared it there. From here it spread throughout Europe like a fire. Twenty years later this fire jumped the Atlantic Ocean and was sung (in German) in a church in New York City. In 1863 it was translated from German to English. Since then it was translated to more than 300 languages and is sung around the world every Christmas.</span></div><div><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: black;">Psalm 149:1 Praise the LORD!

<br />
<br />
Paul in Athens<br />
<div>
His spirit provoked</div>
<div>
at the idol-filled city</div>
<div>
What does this babbler wish to say</div>
<div>
the real babblers begged</div>
<div>
To Areopagus he was dragged</div>
<div>
From his heart the truth was spilled</div>
<div>
the day to repent draweth near</div>
<div>
God in heaven you must fear</div>
<div>
God, the maker of heaven and earth</div>
<div>
Not living in any man-made temple</div>
<div>
Not served by human hands</div>
<div>
not needing anything</div>
<div>
But the giver to humankind</div>
<div>
the breath in their lungs</div>
<div>
The time and area to reside</div>
<div>
and put in their hearts</div>
<div>
the will to seek God</div>
<div>
and be found by Him</div>
<div>
that His praise they should sing</div>
<div>
We are His offspring</div>
<div>
But still human and not divine</div>
<div>
Ignorant times were overlooked</div>
<div>
But now the command is loud and clear</div>
<div>
to all far and near</div>
<div>
Repent</div>
<div>
Judgement is coming by Messiah</div>
<div>
Assurance of this we have</div>
<div>
His Resurrection from the dead</div>
<div>
Some listeners to his message believed</div>
<div>
Do you? </div>

<br />
There is a God<br />
Holy. Eternal. Perfect. Sinless.<br />
No sinner can be in His presence.<br />
He gave the solution<br />
For these mere mortals<br />
by sin polluted.<br />
<br />
A sacrifice<br />
A Lamb, Perfect and Unblemished<br />
For forgiveness<br />
Blood must be shed<br />
No-one can ever pay this price<br />
<br />
But God....<br />
<br />
Had grace<br />
He send his Lamb<br />
to pay our price<br />
only His Lamb could suffice<br />
to pay the high price<br />
He still gives grace<br />
to prodigal sons and daughters today<br />
Come to Him, I pray<br />
All you do, is fall on your knee<br />
and for His grace plea<br />
and from your sins you will be free<br />
but now from sin you must flee<br />
and for this He gives the power and grace too.<br />

<br />
Approximately 75 years ago<br />
a hell on earth ended<br />
6 million Jews have died<br />
and numerous others too<br />
6 million people that could have made a difference<br />
in the world today<br />
Here and there we find a story<br />
a diary, a poem, written by those<br />
but what about the rest?<br />
The Lord was gracious to spare a remnant<br />
of these Jewish people<br />
His chosen nation<br />
3 years later they have their own country<br />
They built it up<br />
the build and invent things<br />
- used the world over<br />
The Lord truely has blessed these people<br />
Despite hardships they have gone through<br />
<br />
Sadly though, many of them don't believe<br />
their Messiah has come<br />
Some of them do, but most don't.<br />
May we continue to pray for them<br />
to believe that Messiah has come!<br />
