One More Trinity Picture

The Trinity Train

I envision the Holy Trinity to be like a very shinny silver train.  It glows as bright as the sun, so it is very difficult to look at it with all its splendor and glory.  Unlike this picture which shows three separate cars, the Trinity Train is all one unit.  

God the Father, the Creator is at the head of the train.  He is the engineer.   He is in charge of everything including where the train goes on this planet and when.  He wants all people to ride on His train.  So God made arrangements with His Son, Jesus to work out the details of how all people can come on His train.  God sees all and knows all through the big windows in the front.

God the Son, Jesus is the conductor on the train.  When the train pulls into station, many people gather around the train.  They push towards the open door, all wanting to go on the train.  The door is too high for people to climb into the train by themselves.  Jesus is standing in the door way.  He wants all the people to come on the train. People ask Jesus, “What can I do to ride on the train and how much does it cost?”  Jesus answers them, “You don’t have to do anything, because I have already done everything for you.  You don’t have to buy a ticket because I have paid for your tickets. Just trust me and believe me”.  Many people don’t understand (believe).  Some people leave. Many “good” people stay and think they should be allowed to ride the train because of all the good things they have done. They give Jesus their list.  Some people try to give money to ride the train.  Jesus looks down with compassion at all the people.  He sees into their hearts and can see the ones that truly BELIEVE in Him.  Jesus reaches down and carries the believers in His mighty arms and puts them on the train.

God the Holy Spirit rides in the back of the train.  From the back window the Holy Spirit throws out tickets (the Word, the Holy Bible) to the people. These tickets tell the people all about God and give instructions on what has to be done to ride the train. The Holy Spirit explains that God loves all the people He created and that He wants all of them to ride on His train and be with Him forever.  The Holy Spirit further explains that because people are no longer holy and perfect like God and that they have not followed ALL of God’s instructions, they not allowed to ride on God’s train.  The Holy Spirit shares God’s plan for how they can still get to ride on the train.   God’s plan was that He sent his Son, Jesus to be a sacrifice for us. By doing this, Jesus made all believing people perfect in God’s sight. So our ticket to ride God’s train is to believe in what Jesus did for us.
