The subject of this issue is beyond understanding. Yet, many things we know and enjoy are also beyond our understanding. As creatures we are finite while God is infinite. So He is beyond human understanding. But, blessed be God, He has chosen to reveal Himself to us through the Son in a way that we can know Him and worship Him.
We know the love of Christ, yet it “passeth knowledge.” The peace of God shall keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, yet it “passeth all understanding.” The depths of the wisdom and knowledge of God produce “unsearchable judgments” and “ways past finding out.”
Wigram comments on this subject: “The human mind often makes great difficulties for itself on the subject of the Trinity—difficulties that do not exist. People have often said to me, ‘I do not like that word Trinity; I do not see how there can be three in one, and one in three.’ My answer is very simple: ‘I have no particular love for the word, yet I have a particular love for the truth which men have coined that word to represent, though I cannot say I understand it’  ” (adapted).
Let us not allow what we cannot understand to limit our enjoyment of our infinite God as He has revealed Himself to us.
