I wrote this paper for a recently seminary class. It is pretty lengthy, but I loved writing it, if you have time, enjoy:-) Trinity in Marriage INTRODUCTION There are several mysteries in the Christian faith that are hard to explain in human terms.

Have you seen the ads for “Quantum Jumping” that constantly come up on internet ads? When I was young and naive, it was bunk like this that got me into a quasi-New Age cult. (Read my testimony page.)

”Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
We know the way because Jesus is the way. Amazingly, we can know the way, without knowing where we are going. The world is full of mystery, and no one knows what the future has in store. But as followers of Christ, we don’t have to be afraid of this mystery, because we can trust that we are on the Way. -
I think my favorite beatitude is “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they willl be filled” (Matthew 5:6). 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” So, our righteousness comes from Christ.
