The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in 2 Corinthians 13:14,

"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
In this closing benediction (blessing) to the Corinthians, that Paul ends his second letter with, he expresses his desire that each member of the Trinity bless these believers.
Paul refers to the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. There is something fascinating to me and intriguing about the Trinity. The members of the Trinity talk with one another, they embrace one another in singleness of purpose, and yet they appear to have differing functions and roles in their activities.
God the Son speaks to God the Father on behalf of us believers in John 17 and we see he continues to do so today, Romans 8:34. The Holy Spirit does so as well, Romans 8:26-27. In that passage we see that God the Father knows the mind of the Holy Spirit who goes before the Father on our behalf, which, by the way, is the Father's desire: "in accordance with God's will." As I say, this is all fascinating to me.
In Hebrews 1:1-4 we learn that it was through the Son that the Father made the universe and that the Father "appointed" the Son as "heir of all things". The Son is the radiance of the Father's glory. Jesus said, "All that belongs to the Father is mine." John 16:15.
In John 14 we read that the Son asks the Father to send the Holy Spirit to believers which takes place in Acts 2. Jesus says the Father is greater than he is and that he always does what the Father tells him to do, John 14:28, 31. Jesus said when the Father sends the Holy Spirit to believers, the Spirit will teach them all things and remind them of all Jesus had to say, creating the possibility for fellowship amongst believers and believers with the Trinity. John 14:26.
Fascinating stuff, isn't it? There is so much to learn and glean from the pages of Scripture about our triune God!
