Pastor, 19 00:01:11,497 --> 00:01:15,057 Speaker 3: author and speaker Timothy Jones helps us contemplate this relational 20 00:01:15,137 --> 00:01:17,617 Speaker 3: view and how the communing of God, Jesus and the 21 00:01:17,617 --> 00:01:20,857 Speaker 3: Holy Spirit brings a new level of intimacy and belovedness 22 00:01:20,977 --> 00:01:21,657 Speaker 3: to each of us. 23 00:01:23,897 --> 00:01:28,417 Speaker 1: I'm Timothy Jones. I'm a pastor and author and speaker 24 00:01:28,577 --> 00:01:33,657 Speaker 1: and retreat leader. I live near Nashville, and I love 25 00:01:33,777 --> 00:01:43,697 Speaker 1: to write and teach. One of the things that gives 26 00:01:43,737 --> 00:01:47,977 Speaker 1: me joy is seeing people grow closer in their relationship 27 00:01:48,017 --> 00:01:51,577 Speaker 1: to God. And I've just in fact, spent the last 28 00:01:51,577 --> 00:01:55,617 Speaker 1: couple of years exploring and writing about how God comes 29 00:01:55,697 --> 00:01:59,737 Speaker 1: close to us in the Trinity. While some of us 30 00:01:59,817 --> 00:02:04,697 Speaker 1: find that ancient belief to be intimidating or confusing, I 31 00:02:04,857 --> 00:02:09,457 Speaker 1: found that knowing God as Father's son and Spirit warms 32 00:02:09,496 --> 00:02:14,217 Speaker 1: our view of God. There's a real tenderness here, and 33 00:02:14,217 --> 00:02:19,097 Speaker 1: that surprises some people. I see in that three personed 34 00:02:19,297 --> 00:02:24,257 Speaker 1: portrait of God a wonderful invitation to know all three 35 00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:30,017 Speaker 1: in more intimate ways, to realize how God comes close 36 00:02:30,577 --> 00:02:36,417 Speaker 1: to give us help even for our everyday life. The 37 00:02:36,497 --> 00:02:40,817 Speaker 1: idea of a highly relational God goes back to the 38 00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:44,657 Speaker 1: very beginning. In Genesis, the first book of the Bible, 39 00:02:44,737 --> 00:02:50,537 Speaker 1: we hear God say, let us make humankind in our image, 40 00:02:50,697 --> 00:02:54,577 Speaker 1: and for centuries scholars have puzzled over that moment when 41 00:02:54,617 --> 00:03:00,297 Speaker 1: God said, let us make people in our image. It's plural. 42 00:03:01,057 --> 00:03:05,217 Speaker 1: That seems a little odd when we profess belief in 43 00:03:05,257 --> 00:03:09,217 Speaker 1: one God. But I see a hint here, a glimmer 44 00:03:09,697 --> 00:03:14,177 Speaker 1: of the trinity. There's one God, and yet there's so 45 00:03:14,417 --> 00:03:20,297 Speaker 1: much richness in that oneness suggested in that odd little 46 00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:25,656 Speaker 1: quirk of grammar. Let us make, I think shows us 47 00:03:25,697 --> 00:03:30,817 Speaker 1: that there's a blessed, wonderful complexity in God's own being 48 00:03:30,937 --> 00:03:36,137 Speaker 1: in nature. For from before time began. This is telling 49 00:03:36,217 --> 00:03:41,377 Speaker 1: us there was conversation. There was already a communion, a 50 00:03:41,457 --> 00:03:46,337 Speaker 1: community of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They've always commune. 51 00:03:46,697 --> 00:03:50,857 Speaker 1: That kind of boggles the mind, I know, to think 52 00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:58,257 Speaker 1: that eternity past grims with relationship, before humankind even appeared 53 00:03:58,377 --> 00:04:03,617 Speaker 1: on the scene. God already was busy relating from before time, 54 00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:07,977 Speaker 1: and it makes sense that that God, already full of 55 00:04:08,097 --> 00:04:14,177 Speaker 1: love and communing, would create to create befits, a triune 56 00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:20,377 Speaker 1: being who overflows with love and life. As the creation's 57 00:04:20,416 --> 00:04:24,696 Speaker 1: story unfolds, we see this communal aspect in action. We 58 00:04:24,777 --> 00:04:28,376 Speaker 1: see how, for example, a wind, the breath of God, 59 00:04:28,936 --> 00:04:32,856 Speaker 1: the Spirit, as Genesis tells us, moved over the face 60 00:04:33,017 --> 00:04:39,017 Speaker 1: of the unformed waters. This was not something flighty even 61 00:04:39,056 --> 00:04:43,537 Speaker 1: in these primordial beginnings. The spirit didn't just kind of 62 00:04:43,577 --> 00:04:48,856 Speaker 1: hang around or hover. It brooded, as some say that 63 00:04:48,976 --> 00:04:53,936 Speaker 1: word could be translated. It moved with tender care, like 64 00:04:54,056 --> 00:04:59,657 Speaker 1: a bird minding its eggs or hatchlings. So order and 65 00:04:59,777 --> 00:05:04,296 Speaker 1: beauty grow out of the Spirit's active participation. And Jesus 66 00:05:04,416 --> 00:05:09,057 Speaker 1: was there too. Again, God said, let us make he 67 00:05:09,176 --> 00:05:12,097 Speaker 1: was there. Jesus was, as John would later say in 68 00:05:12,137 --> 00:05:16,337 Speaker 1: his Gospel, he was there the word of God, and 69 00:05:16,457 --> 00:05:21,657 Speaker 1: God's word had a hand in calling forth, in speaking 70 00:05:21,777 --> 00:05:25,657 Speaker 1: forth the world. So I like to think of it 71 00:05:25,777 --> 00:05:29,136 Speaker 1: like this. If you picture an artist, how an artist 72 00:05:29,537 --> 00:05:33,857 Speaker 1: can fashion something wonderful out of marble or clay or 73 00:05:33,856 --> 00:05:39,337 Speaker 1: oil paints. Consider all the more Jesus Vincent van Go 74 00:05:39,657 --> 00:05:44,257 Speaker 1: with the artist, pained though he was by despair at 75 00:05:44,296 --> 00:05:49,457 Speaker 1: times in his life, saw Jesus as the supreme artist. 76 00:05:50,137 --> 00:05:53,936 Speaker 1: He was, and he was with God the Father and 77 00:05:54,056 --> 00:05:57,856 Speaker 1: God the Spirit at the very creation of the world. 78 00:06:00,936 --> 00:06:07,176 Speaker 3: Stay tuned for more with Timothy Jones after a brief message. 79 00:06:09,137 --> 00:06:12,817 Speaker 3: These uncertain times bring anxiety and fear, but Jesus listens 80 00:06:12,816 --> 00:06:15,776 Speaker 3: prayers for every season gives you daily prayers of comfort 81 00:06:16,577 --> 00:06:20,856 Speaker 3: with seasonally inspired illustrations. This beautiful book includes prayers that 82 00:06:20,976 --> 00:06:24,137 Speaker 3: speak to your situation, whether it's a time of stress 83 00:06:24,296 --> 00:06:28,257 Speaker 3: or strength. Look for Jesus listens prayers for every season 84 00:06:28,457 --> 00:06:29,657 Speaker 3: wherever you buy books. 85 00:06:34,936 --> 00:06:38,176 Speaker 1: Throughout the Gospels, Jesus speaks of the Father with words 86 00:06:38,257 --> 00:06:43,497 Speaker 1: of profound closeness. I and the Father are one, he said, 87 00:06:44,017 --> 00:06:48,097 Speaker 1: The Father loves the Son. I just think it's amazing. 88 00:06:48,176 --> 00:06:53,217 Speaker 1: It's almost jarring, how intimate that all seems. But that 89 00:06:53,337 --> 00:06:56,777 Speaker 1: says to me that at the living center of our faith, 90 00:06:57,376 --> 00:07:02,496 Speaker 1: God is not some aloof distant being. This is not 91 00:07:02,897 --> 00:07:07,097 Speaker 1: some deity who can't understand and what it means to 92 00:07:07,137 --> 00:07:11,737 Speaker 1: be an intimate relationship. This is not a being who 93 00:07:11,816 --> 00:07:16,657 Speaker 1: is impossible to know, or experience or have a conversation with. 94 00:07:19,657 --> 00:07:23,816 Speaker 1: We see that in this picture as God, the Father 95 00:07:23,977 --> 00:07:28,617 Speaker 1: and Jesus the Son relate and converse. They've been living 96 00:07:28,657 --> 00:07:34,457 Speaker 1: in joyous communion throughout eternity. There's communion among the Father, 97 00:07:34,657 --> 00:07:39,336 Speaker 1: the Son, the Holy Spirit. And he has revealed. God 98 00:07:39,377 --> 00:07:44,177 Speaker 1: has revealed this picture to us to give us hope. 99 00:07:44,497 --> 00:07:49,337 Speaker 1: We wouldn't have thunked up ourselves. But because God has 100 00:07:49,417 --> 00:07:54,136 Speaker 1: shown us this picture, we glimpse a delight that grows 101 00:07:54,337 --> 00:07:57,896 Speaker 1: out of a communion that's already at play between the 102 00:07:57,977 --> 00:08:02,177 Speaker 1: three persons of the Trinity. And I would say, if 103 00:08:02,177 --> 00:08:07,057 Speaker 1: you think that's a stretch, remember how at jesus Baptism 104 00:08:07,137 --> 00:08:10,857 Speaker 1: we see the son in the water, the spirit descending, 105 00:08:11,377 --> 00:08:16,177 Speaker 1: and the Father's voice declaring, you are my beloved son. 106 00:08:16,816 --> 00:08:21,816 Speaker 1: They're used to having conversations. They always have, they always will, 107 00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:30,977 Speaker 1: and that should encourage us. I love how in John 108 00:08:31,257 --> 00:08:37,457 Speaker 1: chapters fourteen through seventeen, Jesus speaks repeatedly about the shared 109 00:08:37,577 --> 00:08:42,697 Speaker 1: life he has with God and our invitation into it. 110 00:08:43,457 --> 00:08:46,937 Speaker 1: In John fourteen twenty he says, on that day you 111 00:08:46,977 --> 00:08:49,777 Speaker 1: will know that I am in my Father and you 112 00:08:49,897 --> 00:08:54,537 Speaker 1: and me and I in you. And in John fifteen 113 00:08:54,657 --> 00:08:59,057 Speaker 1: four he says, abide in me and I in you. 114 00:08:59,897 --> 00:09:03,017 Speaker 1: And that word abide is a rich word. It has 115 00:09:03,137 --> 00:09:06,177 Speaker 1: to do with not just being next to somebody, but 116 00:09:06,937 --> 00:09:13,697 Speaker 1: sharing their life, being in communion. This belief in the Trinity, 117 00:09:14,697 --> 00:09:19,057 Speaker 1: And in light of passages like these in John, lets 118 00:09:19,097 --> 00:09:24,457 Speaker 1: us talk about God in family like words, with intimate names, 119 00:09:25,177 --> 00:09:29,697 Speaker 1: terms of affection. Sometimes when people think about the Trinity, 120 00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:34,737 Speaker 1: they get kind of intimidated by all of the philosophical 121 00:09:35,377 --> 00:09:38,457 Speaker 1: speculation that surrounds it. But when you think about it, 122 00:09:39,017 --> 00:09:44,737 Speaker 1: what is more appealing or inviting than words like father, son, 123 00:09:45,537 --> 00:09:49,657 Speaker 1: living spirit. And the amazing thing to me is we're 124 00:09:49,697 --> 00:09:55,697 Speaker 1: invited into that loving kind fellowship. And I think this 125 00:09:55,777 --> 00:10:00,137 Speaker 1: is really important right now. We are in a cultural 126 00:10:00,257 --> 00:10:07,897 Speaker 1: moment defined by epic even epidemic lonelines. There are fractured 127 00:10:07,977 --> 00:10:13,977 Speaker 1: relationships we experience. Who of us hasn't recently had a 128 00:10:14,057 --> 00:10:18,097 Speaker 1: polarizing conversation, And I think in the midst of all 129 00:10:18,137 --> 00:10:22,057 Speaker 1: of this, all the more we're searching for a more 130 00:10:22,177 --> 00:10:29,857 Speaker 1: lasting love, something that's reliable, sturdy, dependable, and abundant. This 131 00:10:29,937 --> 00:10:33,337 Speaker 1: is what I see in this picture of the Trinity. 132 00:10:33,977 --> 00:10:40,377 Speaker 1: The Trinity because of all of this relational depth, it's 133 00:10:40,777 --> 00:10:48,697 Speaker 1: not intimidating as much as it is life changing. We compete, 134 00:10:49,337 --> 00:10:54,577 Speaker 1: we strive. Sometimes when we're online, we're worried about how 135 00:10:54,657 --> 00:10:57,737 Speaker 1: we present ourselves or if we're going to get that 136 00:10:57,857 --> 00:11:03,577 Speaker 1: coveted like from somebody visiting our sites. And I think 137 00:11:03,617 --> 00:11:08,017 Speaker 1: that leaves us searching for a deeper connection, not to 138 00:11:08,137 --> 00:11:12,937 Speaker 1: know that we're liked, but to know that we're beloved. 139 00:11:13,737 --> 00:11:17,857 Speaker 1: To discover also, then in the midst of that that 140 00:11:18,057 --> 00:11:25,737 Speaker 1: human tenderness alone will not cannot satisfy our deepest longings, 141 00:11:25,817 --> 00:11:30,977 Speaker 1: our deepest selves. So what I'm seeing here can heighten 142 00:11:31,057 --> 00:11:35,577 Speaker 1: our anticipation for a life with God, for a relationally 143 00:11:35,817 --> 00:11:41,617 Speaker 1: richer life, and we may translate that into our relationship 144 00:11:41,657 --> 00:11:46,617 Speaker 1: with God feeling like, well, I've somehow got to impress God, 145 00:11:47,097 --> 00:11:51,057 Speaker 1: I've got to earn his favor, and that just doesn't work. 146 00:11:52,097 --> 00:11:57,377 Speaker 1: What we most want to know and experience is found 147 00:11:57,617 --> 00:12:04,217 Speaker 1: in that experience of being fully beloved, knowing we're loved, 148 00:12:04,897 --> 00:12:11,017 Speaker 1: not just tolerated, but cherished. Here's another thing that's important 149 00:12:11,017 --> 00:12:14,657 Speaker 1: to me in this We get here vivid pictures that 150 00:12:14,697 --> 00:12:19,217 Speaker 1: God knows and cares about the most heartbreaking questions of 151 00:12:19,617 --> 00:12:24,857 Speaker 1: everyday existence. Jesus himself, of course suffered, he became a 152 00:12:24,977 --> 00:12:29,657 Speaker 1: human person, he was rejected, he died a painful death. 153 00:12:30,177 --> 00:12:33,937 Speaker 1: And we see in that segment, or in that chapter 154 00:12:34,097 --> 00:12:37,217 Speaker 1: of the Story of the Trinity, how God cares about 155 00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:41,577 Speaker 1: our most daily worries, about the hardest things that happened 156 00:12:41,617 --> 00:12:46,897 Speaker 1: to us, cares about whether we're loved and valued. The 157 00:12:47,137 --> 00:12:51,737 Speaker 1: answer we see and witness in the Trinity is a 158 00:12:51,857 --> 00:13:00,097 Speaker 1: three word sentence, you are loved. The early Church spoke 159 00:13:00,137 --> 00:13:03,817 Speaker 1: of the Trinity, not merely as doctrine, but as something 160 00:13:03,857 --> 00:13:08,297 Speaker 1: that could take a lifetime of exploring and pondering and 161 00:13:09,057 --> 00:13:14,857 Speaker 1: could deepen and enrich our worship in wonderful ways. There's 162 00:13:14,977 --> 00:13:18,257 Speaker 1: mystery here, but not mystery that puts us off, but 163 00:13:18,497 --> 00:13:22,377 Speaker 1: rather something intriguing that invites us to draw closer to 164 00:13:22,497 --> 00:13:27,657 Speaker 1: experience more of that relational richness of God. And I 165 00:13:27,817 --> 00:13:34,257 Speaker 1: have found that picture sometimes drawing me into prayer. So 166 00:13:34,857 --> 00:13:39,017 Speaker 1: sometimes I will address a prayer to the Father, sometimes 167 00:13:39,057 --> 00:13:44,257 Speaker 1: to Jesus, like Jesus at Mercy. Sometimes to the Spirit. 168 00:13:44,977 --> 00:13:49,457 Speaker 1: I will pray, Come, Holy Spirit. That's a genuinely biblical prayer. 169 00:13:49,977 --> 00:13:54,897 Speaker 1: But often the Trinity, the Three, the fellowship of the Three, 170 00:13:55,057 --> 00:13:58,897 Speaker 1: is the bigger backdrop to all that I ask, or 171 00:13:59,017 --> 00:14:03,257 Speaker 1: say or pray. And I realize in those moments that 172 00:14:03,337 --> 00:14:09,177 Speaker 1: I'm addressing a God who is already actively relating and communing. 173 00:14:09,617 --> 00:14:13,497 Speaker 1: I become part of that conversation. That delight and that 174 00:14:13,617 --> 00:14:19,417 Speaker 1: picture actually makes me want to pray more because there 175 00:14:19,497 --> 00:14:23,737 Speaker 1: is an invitation that's hinted at when we look at 176 00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:28,057 Speaker 1: that picture of God, an invitation to join the fellowship 177 00:14:28,417 --> 00:14:36,137 Speaker 1: God already enjoys. God likes to hear us talk. We 178 00:14:36,177 --> 00:14:41,137 Speaker 1: can pray freely. Nothing is too little or an insignificant 179 00:14:41,177 --> 00:14:44,337 Speaker 1: to bring to God. Nothing is too big to bring 180 00:14:44,377 --> 00:14:48,577 Speaker 1: to God. And I believe God will communicate with us. 181 00:14:48,857 --> 00:14:54,097 Speaker 1: Jesus will turn toward us a tender face. Jesus listens. 182 00:14:54,137 --> 00:14:58,457 Speaker 1: He bends his ear close to our lips. This is 183 00:14:58,537 --> 00:15:04,537 Speaker 1: about grace, isn't it? Grace through and through this promise. 184 00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:09,857 Speaker 1: The conviction that we are fully beloved isn't something we 185 00:15:09,977 --> 00:15:13,497 Speaker 1: claim through our effort. His nearness is not a standing 186 00:15:13,657 --> 00:15:18,497 Speaker 1: we earn or somehow achieve. It's a gift we receive. 187 00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:28,657 Speaker 1: And that's where daily attentiveness comes in. Jesus listens. April sixteen, 188 00:15:30,737 --> 00:15:33,897 Speaker 1: My loving Lord, thank you for loving me regardless of 189 00:15:33,977 --> 00:15:39,577 Speaker 1: how well I'm performing. Sometimes I feel uneasy, questioning whether 190 00:15:39,657 --> 00:15:43,217 Speaker 1: I'm doing enough to be worthy of your love. But 191 00:15:43,337 --> 00:15:48,177 Speaker 1: I realize that, no matter how exemplary my behavior may be, 192 00:15:49,297 --> 00:15:53,497 Speaker 1: the answer to that question will always be known. You've 193 00:15:53,577 --> 00:15:57,137 Speaker 1: been showing me that my performance and your love are 194 00:15:57,217 --> 00:16:01,417 Speaker 1: completely different issues. You have loved me with an everlasting 195 00:16:01,537 --> 00:16:06,817 Speaker 1: love that flows outward from eternity without limit or conditions. 196 00:16:07,777 --> 00:16:11,657 Speaker 1: You have clothed me in your robe of righteousness and 197 00:16:11,777 --> 00:16:17,337 Speaker 1: This is an eternal transaction. Nothing and no one can 198 00:16:17,417 --> 00:16:22,697 Speaker 1: reverse it. This means that my successes and failures have 199 00:16:22,817 --> 00:16:27,497 Speaker 1: no bearing on your love for me. I've discovered that 200 00:16:27,657 --> 00:16:33,097 Speaker 1: even my ability to evaluate how well I'm doing is flawed. 201 00:16:34,137 --> 00:16:38,097 Speaker 1: My limited human perspective in the condition of my body 202 00:16:38,457 --> 00:16:47,297 Speaker 1: with its mer curial variations, distort my assessment of my behavior. Lord, 203 00:16:47,417 --> 00:16:52,057 Speaker 1: I bring my performance anxiety to you, and I ask 204 00:16:52,217 --> 00:16:56,857 Speaker 1: you to replace it with your unfailing love. Help me 205 00:16:56,937 --> 00:17:00,017 Speaker 1: to stay aware of your loving presence with me in 206 00:17:00,097 --> 00:17:04,217 Speaker 1: everything I do.
