When we live in loving community with those around us, we truly reflect the glory and the beauty of the Three-in-One God. That is why unity leads to the bestowing of God’s blessing and life, for it is life the way it was intended to be. Thus, community (as is worship) is merely the invitation to enter into the joy and gladness and delight of the life of God himself. What an invitation!
R. Thomas Ashbrook asks: “What might it mean to live fully and freely in the life of the Trinity, knowing and loving God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as they know and love each other?” I think part of what it might mean is that we begin to live like that with each other as well. That joining in the Dance of the Trinity means that we dance with each other that way as well. It is merely a reflection of who he is, and who we are in him. God cannot help but bestow his blessing because his very life is flowing in and through and among us. Which is good and pleasant indeed.
