Today Jesus reveals to Nicodemus the mystery of his God (Joh 3.16-18).
A) God loves the world and therefore gives "way - truth - life" (his only Son)
"the bread of Life for the world"
"peace and grace" ...
B) Therefore the one who decides to accept this gift is not lost,
but may participate with the fulness of Life
C) And therefore the one who refuses to accept this gift is first lost,
finally "out of hope" and fulfillment.
It means the crucial point for a baptist person of today is:
A) to accept such a giving God !
or do you worship an other God ? the god of NOT-giving, the god of reluctance,
the god of punishment and revenge ? and you become a beggar ?
B) to actualize him, to present "way-truth-life", to realize daily the participation
with the fulness of life for all.
C) to be aware that Jesus came espesially for the one "out of hope", to carry him
on his shoulders... there is much work for us to do...
To meditate today God as Trinity means: YOU SEE
A) God is like the sun a radiant energy of life and love
B) But also a given "way of life" (Jesus) as challenge to all "believers"
C) and a solution for (in our view) unresolved problems - (Holy Spirit)
as far as we unite with the "unbelievers".
Some years ago people have known many many gods,
later they have seen the hierarchy of gods (one became the highest)
and today they acknowledge "there is only one God" -
but this one God is energy + challenge + solution!
The evolution of God within the consciousness of the homo sapiens
is quite interesting
