(ESV)\n\n        This week we are looking at the Trinity, the Church's\n   understanding of God, by studying the third chapter of Saint\n   John's Gospel.  How did Jesus explain the mystery of faith to\n   Nicodemus?  He looked back to the days when the children of\n   Israel were in the wilderness.  Because they grumbled against\n   Moses, and therefore grumbled against God, they were plagued by\n   venomous snakes.  A lot of people were bitten and died.\n\n        When the people repented, God told Moses to make a bronze\n   image of a snake and elevate it on a pole.  Those who were bitten\n   and looked in faith to the bronze serpent did not die.\n\n        No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended\n        from heaven, the Son of Man.  And as Moses lifted up\n        the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man\n        be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have\n        eternal life.  For God so loved the world, that he gave\n        his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not\n        perish but have eternal life.\n\n\n        The second Person of the Trinity, the One who came down from\n   heaven, would also be lifted up on a wooden cross.  Those who\n   look to the cross, those who trust that the death of the Son of\n   God paid for their rebellion, will have life.\n\n        The Father, out of love, sent His Son to bear the sins of\n   the world.  That is the mystery of the faith.\n\n        May our Lord grant that we may look in faith to Christ Jesus\n   for the forgiveness of our sins.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 4, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4892"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4892\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4893,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4892\/revisions\/4893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
