Can the Olympic Games Help us Describe the Trinity?
The Trinity is one of the most profound mysteries of the Christian faith. God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4; ’The Lord is One’), yet we also worship three distinct Persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—at the same time. Christian apologists, preachers and Sunday school teachers have struggled to illustrate and explain this union without straying into heresy.
