Though there have been many attempts to explain this humanly incomprehensible doctrine, I find it helpful to use the analogy of a person who, though a single being, may be a son/daughter, spouse, and parent. He/she is all three within a single being. The analogy falls short, however, since he/she relates within his/her family system in singular roles, whereas outside of the family system he/she may simultaneously be all three. What I cannot fully comprehend I accept by faith. If full comprehension is important, it will be accomplished when I am with God, Son, and Holy Spirit in glory. Until then, I have the incredible privilege of knowing all three in my various experiences with God as I walk, work, study, and minister. Blessings, Carl J.
