"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,
Bob
