A Sermon preached by the Rev. Leander S. Harding, Ph.D. June 7, 2009
In the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
You see that I have a visual aid this morning. This is the famous Rublev icon of the Holy Trinity. You can go to Google Images and type in Rublev Icon and also search for more in-depth information than I can give this morning. We’re talking about the Holy Trinity this morning. The color is white, which is the color of feasts in the church year. We’ve had some big feasts, the Feast of Easter which is the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Feast of Pentecost last Sunday, which is the feast of the Holy Spirit. The disciples were gathered and the Holy Spirit descended upon them, like flames of fire upon their heads. Jesus said, “It is good for you that I go so that the Spirit, the Comforter, the Paraclete, the Companion will come and lead you into all truth.”
