MUSINGS: Dynamic Activity of Love
All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that
‘God is love.’ But they seem not to notice that the words ‘God is
love’ have no real meaning unless God contains at least two Per-
sons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If
God was a single person, then before the world was made, he was
not love. Of course, what these people mean when they say that
God is love is often something quite different: they really mean
‘Love is God.’ They really mean that our feelings of love, however
and wherever they arise, and whatever results they produce, are to
be treated with great respect. Perhaps they are: but that is some-
thing quite different from what Christians mean by the statement
‘God is love.’ They believe that the living, dynamic activity of love
has been going on in God forever and has created everything else.
If you think of the Father as something ‘out there’, in front of you,
and of the Son as someone standing at your side, helping you to
pray, trying to turn you into another son, then you have to think of
the third Person as something inside you, or behind you. Perhaps
some people might find it easier to begin with the third Person and
work backwards. God is love, and that love works through human
beings – especially through the whole community of Christians. But
this spirit of love is, from all eternity, a love going on between the
Father and the Son.

EXAM PRAYER Lord, as I prepare for these examinations, let your strength and your wisdom be present to me.
May I revise my work thoroughly. May I understand what it is I have to know. May my memory be reliable and orderly. May I be calm and focused on the
task ahead. May I know and feel the love and support of my family and friends. And may You, the author and creator of all things, enlighten me.
ANDREY RUBLEV’S ICON OF THE TRINITY
Six hundred years ago not many people went to school. Not
many kids learned how to read and write. And if you don’t
know how to read and write, then you wouldn’t be able to
read a Bible. So to help people understand God 600 years
ago, church ministers used to paint pictures so that people
who couldn’t read and write could still learn about God.
What can we learn about God from this picture? All three
people have exactly the same circle, the same
“halo” (nimbus) around their heads. That’s the glow of God.
Now these three people are wearing four colours – green;
brown; blue; gold. Six hundred years ago, blue was the colour
people painted God. Blue was God’s colour. Three people, all
with circle halos around their heads. All wearing blue, the
colour of God. So the painter of this picture was saying that
these three people are God.
What are the three people holding? They are all holding a long stick. Exactly the same length. Look at their hands.
What hand is holding the stick? All three right hands are holding the stick. Now look at their other hands; all the left
hands have two fingers pointing down. We can see that the painter is saying that these people are the same; same
halos; same blue, the colour for God; same way of holding a staff in the same right hand; same way of point their fin-
gers. Three people, who are God, who are all exactly the same.
Yet as well as being exactly the same, these three people are also different.
One person has Green, the side closest to us. Green is the colour of spring, the colour of things that grow; that green
person is the Holy Spirit of God – who wants you, and this church, to be green and grow.
One person has Brown. Brown is the colour of dirt. That brown person is Jesus, who came to earth, put his feet on
the ground, felt dirt between his felt.
One person is Gold. That person is God the Father; gold because of the beauty and God who created a beautiful
earth. The painter is using a picture to tell us about God. That God is three persons: Spirit in green to help us grow;
Jesus in brown walking in the dirt; the Father in gold who created this beautiful earth
