God in Three Persons
8Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I
send, and who will go for us?"
And I said,
"Here am I; send me!"
Isaiah
6:1-8
15... When we cry, "Abba! Father!"
16it is that very Spirit bearing
witness with
our spirit that we are children of God,
Romans
8:12-17
7Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born
from above.' 8The wind blows where it chooses, and you
hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.
So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." (Jesus speaking to
Nicodemus)
John
3:1-17
People
take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.
Just
because they're not on your road
doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

Three interlocking circles frame a central
cross and represent the members of the Holy Trinity: God the Father (the
Creator God), God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. At the very top,
defined by three simple lines is a triple profile of the face of God (the
Holy Trinity) is the holy city, the new Jerusalem (from revelation 21),
golden and ordered. Within the largest orb are six small circles, each
detailing one day of creation. In the center of the Creation circle is
another circle, exactly intersected by a wooden cross that supports the
entire window. Here ascends the crucified Christ (God the Son), the colors
of his skin representing the diversity of the human race and the
inclusiveness of the gospel.
He is freed from the cross, arms uplifted,
eyes held in the sustaining, eternal gaze of his Father. From his
nail-pierced hand flows, not blood, but a clear stream of life-giving
water that falls into a stream at the bottom where it assumes the shape of
a dove (God the Holy Spirit), its wings become the flames of Pentecost.
Twelve trees denote discipleship and are bent with the winds of the
Spirit. An earthly city, disordered and imperfect, offers a perspective on
human discord. A pitcher, basin and towel are reminders of Christ's
servanthood and his call for us to follow him.
Trinity is the towering
centerpiece of a major renovation at Trinity Lutheran Church in Moorhead,
Minnesota. The window measures twenty-two feet high, and fourteen feet at
its widest point. Over 120 colors and textures of glass were hand-selected
for this project which contains 5,500 individual pieces. This image is of
a limited edition hand-struck serigraph of the design for the stained
glass.
