Sermon -- Trinity Sunday 2012
We
probably have all seen Rublev's icon of the Trinity. It depicts our
Patron, the Trinity, as three angels, the angels that visited our
father Abraham near the oaks of Mamre. (The minister circulates a
large copy of the icon and mentions it is on the church blog)
In
his picture, Rublev shows us what we know about this Holy One who
Isaiah has seen in his vision that was read to us. We know about
this Holy One primarily through Jesus. As scripture has told us
“Jesus is the image of the unseen God.”
So
the Christian tradition boldly claims to have some knowledge about
this mysterious figure – that Rudolf Otto calls the “mysterium
tremendum et fascians" - this scary but fascinating mystery. All of
our knowledge of God comes from Jesus.
Rublev
depicts our three Patrons in his picture as sitting in a circle. On
the right, the Holy Spirit has a garment of the clear blue of the
sky, wrapped over with a robe of a fragile green. The Spirit of
creation moves in sky and water, breathes in heaven and earth. All
living things owe their freshness to his touch.
