Trinitarian Glory
January 25, 2009 – 4:56 pmThis just blew my mind:
God created the world to display his glory. We exist to display God’s glory. Okay.
How does the Trinitarian nature of God come into play here? God’s glory is the display of his nature, and thus creation is a display of God’s Trinitarian glory.
This is the world that BEST displays the relationships between the Father and the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit and the Son… for us to marvel at and enjoy.
The Father sending the Son to die, and the Son enduring the Cross and submitting to the Father’s will “for the joy set before him” shows us the glorious relationship between the Father and the Son in a way that couldn’t have been shown if there was no sin or death and this world was different.
Crazy.
