Message From The Pastor for May 18

Message from the Pastor for Trinity Sunday
Today is Trinity Sunday. It reminds us the God we believe in is a triune God. In fact every Sunday at the end of worship we hear the threefold blessing from our triune God:
1. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The first Christians realized that the world needed saving, changing, and being made right with God. They began with God going out to meet men in love, in redemption, God trying to establish reconciliation and personal relationship. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Eternal breaking into time, the Supernatural intersecting history, Heaven coming down to earth, God living, suffering, dying, and triumphing over sin and evil.
2. “The love of God.” If you have experienced god’s active, living love getting hold of you, then you are certain of the love of God. If you had never heard of Jesus Christ and his grace, would you have thought for certain that God is a God of love? The grace of Christ guarantees the love of God beyond all shadow of doubt.
3. “The fellowship of the Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is discovered best in fellowship. Just as God is a relationship of love—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a kind of triangular personal relationship—so we not only discover God’s love in our own hearts by the Holy Spirit but we are united by that same Holy Spirit to other people who call Christ Lord. Christianity is a shared fellowship of believers, all of whom are certain that they know God’s love in Jesus.
牧者信息分享
今天是三一主日，提醒我們所信的是三位一體的上帝。其實每次崇拜結束時我們都接受著三一真神的祝福：
（一）“我主耶穌基督的恩惠”初期基督徒都知道這世界需要拯救，改變和與神和好。 他們一開始就記得是神首先出去和人建立復合的關系。是主耶穌基督的恩典把永恒的，超自然的，屬神的天堂，帶進這個痛苦的，死亡的，有罪的世界。
（二）“上帝的慈愛”倘若沒有耶穌的恩典，我們可能永遠也不知道神是愛。凡經歷過神的愛而認定神是愛的人，一定是因為透過耶穌的恩典，使他確實的相信這位又真又活的神是這麼的慈愛。
（三）“聖靈的團契”聖靈是在團契中被感受到的—聖父，聖子，聖靈，就是一個團契。凡在自己心裏相信耶穌的人，靠著聖靈的聯合，在別的有同樣信仰耶穌為主的人心裏也結成團契。基督徒的團契就是一群信耶穌的人，他們確實知道神在基督裏將愛表現出來。
