In our final part of our series "The Trinity as Community", we read Matthew 28:19: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” We often focus on the action—going, making disciples, baptizing. But sometimes, it feels like a religious assembly line, missing the relational depth.
The key is the part that says, “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” When you bring the Trinity into the mix, discipling and baptizing become richer and deeper. Sharing our faith can feel awkward, like we’re pushing an agenda. These fears come from losing touch with the essence of the Trinity—God as a loving community, relational from the start.
Let's reconnect with this through two stories.
First, Dorothy Sayers, a British crime novelist, devout Christian, and author of "The Mind of the Maker," explains how the Trinity informs creativity:
Idea (the Father): the initial spark; "I have an idea for a painting."
Energy (the Son): the process of creating, with all its struggles and efforts.
Power (the Spirit): the impact of the finished work on others.
Sayers shows how great art reflects the Trinity through these elements.
The second story is about a viral TikTok video, "When Alexa Accidentally Plays Classical Music." A little boy in his high chair listens to Mozart's Requiem. He asks his mom, "Do you like this song?" She says, "I do, it's very peaceful." He replies, "It is… think about that. Think about that, mommy, and I will think about you." He continues, "You’re thinking about me and you?" She says, "Sure." Then he adds, "Sure, we could bring daddy too. We can bring everybody."
This boy captures how great art opens up a world of love and relationship, where everyone is welcome—a beautiful picture of the Trinity’s loving community.
These stories remind us that discipling and baptizing should be about creativity, generosity, and hospitality, drawing people into God’s love, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
