Travel Notes

Great Mystery

17/10/2020

 
Picture
At a wedding recently I used these symbols to illustrate the Great Mystery (Ephesians 5) of marriage. ​

​First the triquetra, an old Celtic symbol for the Trinity, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It also illustrates how Christian marriages invite God into our marriages, he strengthens the relationship like a threefold cord (Ecclesiastes 4)

Picture
But the Mystery of Marriage goes yet deeper:
  1. (Tracing from the top to the lower left section)
    God the Father sent God the Son...
  2. (to the top centre of the heart)
    ...
    to somehow open up the Trinity making room for us in eternity...
  3. (to the bottom)
    ...
    Jesus came to us in human form, took our sin on his body on the cross, died for it in our place, to make us right with God, & rose again to show he defeated sin/death...
  4. (up to the top left of the heart)
    ...
    then he ascended into heaven where he is preparing a place for us even now...
  5. (to the lower right section)
    ...
    He sent his own Holy Spirit, to be within us, whatever we're going through...
  6. (return to the top)​
    ...And one day he will take us to be with Him in Heaven forever!

Picture
This is The Great Mystery and Mission of marriage: 
not just that we invite God into our marriages, 
but that God invites us into HIS!!!
