The first Sunday of the Season after Pentecost and it is Trinity Sunday, where we celebrate Jesus the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, three separate entities, yet one God in one Body.  Although it seems confusing there are references in the scripture to the Trinity.  In Matthew 3:16-17 and Luke 3:21-22 during Jesus’ baptism a Jesus is lifted out of the Jordan we have the  Spirit i the form of a doze and the voice of God saying, ‘This is my Beloved Son in whom I am pleased,” placing all three entities together.  The Trinity is also referenced by Paul in 2Corinthians 13:14, and the Gospel of John starts with Jesus in the beginning of creation as the Word and becoming the Word in flesh on earth.

One God Head, three personalities.  Each has their own area of coverage.  While their knowledge is universal, meaning there is a shared understanding.  Each understands the outcome and final objective which all three are working together toward.  The God Head is sovereign over all the activities taking place in todays world.  Within the God Head there is a shared common understanding of what has happened, what needs to happen next, and what will be the final outcome. 

Their functions:  God the Father, we can summarize as the center and the guiding force of the Trinity, because, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit come from the Father.  The Father is the creator and sustainer of all things.  The father is the divine authority.  Reaching back into Genesis we see God the Father as the creator of everything form the universe to the flora and fauna, and the people who inhabit the created world.  It is through God’s power and Word, the all comes into existence.
