Matthew 6:7-14 | How the Trinity Works: God the Father Explained

There is one God who eternally exists in three persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If you’ve ever been puzzled by the concept of the Trinity, you’re not alone. The story goes that the great scholar, Augustine, couldn’t get his mind wrapped around the concept either. One day, as he was walking on the beach, he saw a little boy digging a hole in the sand, and then running to the ocean, filling up his hands with water, running back to the hole, and emptying the water into the hole. Augustine watched as the child went back and forth several times. Finally he said to the boy, “What are you doing?”  The boy said, “Trying to fill that hole with the ocean.” Augustine said, “You’ll never fit the ocean in that hole.”  And the boy said, “Neither will you be able to fit the Trinity into your mind.” This story may or may not be true, but it illustrates a great point, as much as we may try, we will not fully understand all there is to know about God.
