Today we come to Trinity Sunday in the church calendar, which provides us with the answer to the all important question, “ In light of all that the Church has shown us concerning the Advent, the Birth, the Baptism, the preaching, the teaching, and miracles , the suffering, death and resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the sending of the Holy Spirit…Who is God?” God is the Father, who is always with His Son and always with His Holy Spirit. God is communion of love of the persons of the Trinity.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, and the presence, power, and work of the Holy Spirit in our lives in the special anointing for personal renewal that will take place at the beginning of today’s service. The Holy Spirit is the gift of God to those who align themselves with Jesus through obedience to His commandments. It is the Holy Spirit through whom we receive the spirit of sonship whereby we know ourselves deeply loved by God as our Father, even as we participate in the sufferings of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is the Holy Spirit who also gives us peace in the midst of our troubles

In our church calendar today is the Sunday after the Ascension. Having celebrated the “elevation” of Jesus Christ to the place of supreme power and authority in the Universe ( “at the right hand of the Father” ), in our Gospel lesson today we take to heart Jesus’ promise to send the Holy Spirit, the fulfillment of which we will celebrate next Sunday at the Feast of Pentecost. It is the ministry of the Holy Spirit to bear witness to our hearts the truth of who Jesus is, and what He has said and done, in conformity with the witness of the apostles. Jesus also warns his disciples of the hostility, persecution, and martyrdom that will come their way. In the face of such opposition, how are we to live? The Epistle reading sets the agenda for us for a life of authentic Christian witness.

ALMIGHTY and merciful God, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift: Bless, we beseech thee, the labours of thy people, and cause the earth to bring forth her fruits abundantly in their season, that we may with grateful hearts give thanks to thee for the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

In our Gospel lesson today Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, whose ‘ coming’ we will celebrate at Pentecost. It is the Holy Spirit working in and beyond the Church who takes the truth of Jesus Christ and applies it to our hearts, and overturns the false judgements of the world. In the face of the moral, spiritual, and theological confusion of our times, what is a Christian to do? Our Epistle lesson directs in the paths of thanksgiving for all God’s good gifts to us, being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, and with meekness receive the implanted Word, Jesus Christ, who is able to save our souls.
