| The Trinity |
“The name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). |
| I suppose if we could understand God and the Trinity He wouldn’t be God. He is infinite and we are finite — mere mortals. The following account illustrates this fact very well. |
| It is said of Augustine (334-430 AD), that he was once walking along the seashore, while he was greatly perplexed about the doctrine of the trinity — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in wisdom, power, and glory, yet three in one. As he meditated, he observed a little boy with a sea shell running to the water, filling his shell and then pouring it into a hole which he had made in the sand. |
| “What are you doing, my boy?” asked Augustine. |
| “Oh!” replied the boy, “I am trying to put the ocean in this hole.” |
| Augustine had learned his lesson, and as he passed on, he said, “That is what I am trying to do; I see it now. Standing on the shores of time I am trying to get into this finite mind things which are infinite.” |
