Religious Education and the Trinity

Understanding the Trinity

- the "three in One" God is recognising that

Father God, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit are equally God.

Three ways of describing God is like three ways of describing the sun.

God is the main person of the godhead

as the sun is the main light.

Jesus comes from God and is an expression of Him

as the rays of sunlight come from the sun and spread it's light.

The Holy Spirit is God's Spirit life in the world

as the sun's rays warm the the world with the sun's warmth and gives life.
