Past, present, future; three primary colors, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, a cord of 3 strands, water, ice, vapor; vanilla, chocolate and strawberry…
There is a certain completeness about 3. The reason it came up this week, is that in teaching about the Holy Spirit in jail, I found myself explaining that there are three kinds of tongues, three kinds of baptism, three kinds of prophesy, and I can only imagine what else I will discover when I dig into scripture for the deeper truths. It makes me realize that many people think things are one way. Sometimes we get the “devil’s advocate”, the “other side of the coin” or the opposing view. But how often do we look for that third bit of truth?
