God and the Sea
The infinite mystery of the Trinitarian God is beyond our finite intellectual abilities. Yet we can still speak truly about God because of his gracious condescension to our creaturely capacities. Like a flowing and ebbing sea, God flows out into his beloved. He does so through the missions of the Son and the Holy Spirit.
In the following video, Credo Fellow Adonis Vidu discusses his love of the ocean and the Trinity, showing how the sea and the sand can be an apt illustration of our understanding of God’s infinite perfections.
