One Egg

This morning, I held in my hand one boiled egg, and I asked my Beloved, “How many eggs do you see?” She replied, “One.” Then, I asked her what it was on the one egg that I was peeling from the egg, and she replied, “The shell.” I took a bite of the one egg, and I asked this time, “What do you see?” She answered, “The yellow.” I asked her one more time how many eggs she saw before I began to peel the egg, and she replied, “One.” Yet, she identified three parts of the one egg before and after I began to eat the one egg. This is so common to us that we simply accept the ingredients of an egg that God made it that way.

One God

The Bible clearly states there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:6)! However, we read in Matthew 3:16 when Jesus was baptized that the “Spirit of God” descended like a dove. Then, the Father said from Heaven, “…This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (NKJV). Here you have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. There is one God, but also you have “one Lord” and “one Spirit” (Ephesian 4:4-6). While the word “Trinity” is not mentioned in the Bible, it is evident there is one God but three distinct personalities, all having the same essence.

Now I can see that an egg is one but has three parts. I accept this though I may not understand how God made the egg as it is. In my finite mind, I surely do not fully understand how there is one God with three distinct personalities, but I accept it by faith because the inspired Word of God teaches it! After all, believers “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7)!
