God sent His Son so that Through Him the World Might be Saved!
There is but one God, but within that one God there are three distinct ‘Persons’, each of them being ‘Love’ itself, because ‘God is Love’. Within the God (Love) there are three distinct persons, manifestations of the Love. This week’s Gospel is really so simple, although trying to explain it is quite confusing. While John’s words are not fully formed into a doctrine of the Church which can be analysed and explained, they say all that needs to be said about the nature of our God. “For God so loved the World that he sent his only Son, so that all who believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Love is always at the centre of this. It is Love that is always active. It is ONLY Love that is at work. It is Love the that came to us in Jesus (the Son). And it is this same Love of Father and Son, which is the Holy Spirit, the power of Love to transform us and our world. Father, Son, Holy Spirit united in just one word, LOVE. The nature of God is a mystery that is beyond our understanding and our imagination. Anything we say about the nature of God is wrong – because God is so much more – infinitely more. All we can know about God is what God revealed to us, and even that is no more than weak, human words. When Moses asked God who he was, he answered, “I am.” Two words, three letters which reveal all we can ever know of God’s inner life. God IS.
