HOLY TRINITY; Proverbs 8:1–4, 22–31; Acts 2:14a, 22–36; John 8:48–59; The Triune God Reveals Himself in Christ Jesus: The divine Word of the Father is also the holy Wisdom who “was beside Him, like a master workman,” who “was daily His delight, rejoicing before Him always” (Prov. 8:30). This Word became flesh and suffered death, in order to bestow life by the preaching of His Gospel “to the children of man” (Prov. 8:4). He honors the Father, and the Father glorifies Him by raising Him from the dead, so that all who keep His Word “will never see death” (John 8:51). Long ago, “father Abraham rejoiced” in the day of Christ, for “he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56). Though Christ was “crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men,” “God raised Him up, loosing the pangs of death” (Acts 2:23, 24). As He “received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:32), so it is by and through the Son that God the Father pours out the Holy Spirit upon His Church.
