"One to the Fourth Power"


 
Friends:
In the past few months I've tried to do what Jesus said and come to Him as a little child. People have asked a lot over the years about the trinity "How can 1+1+1=3?". I've always given the explanation that it isnt 1+1+1, instead it is 1 TIMES 1 TIMES 1 or 1 cubed or 1 to the third power. (My keboard wont let me show that mathematically, lol). That said coming to Jesus as a little child I've tried to understand more about the 111's and 1111's. Along with all the other things that they signify, I've also had this impressed in my heart: the number 1 signifies unity. Jesus prayed that we all become one unified: with each other, in Him, and in The Father. The Bible says that "a man shall leave his father and mother and become one flesh with his wife." The Bible says that Christians are the Bride of Christ. I believe that in addition to all the other things that the 111's and 1111's indicate, they also show the Bride of Christ becoming one and unified with the Godhead, with the Bride/Body of Christ being  the fourth 1 in the equation. I'm in no way saying that the Trinity is no longer the Trinity,or that we've become AS God or His equal, its just a way of God confirming to me and showing mathematically the church soon being unified with The Bridegroom. As I said before, I've tried to become as a little child in my faith and this is one way that God has shown that we'll soon be together with Him. This had been meant as a blessing and an encouragement that He's coming soon, so please accept it in that manner.
Love in Him,
