The arrest of Jesus is rapidly approaching.  He is using these last precious minutes to communicate amazing things to His confused disciples.  He even acknowledges to them, “Sorrow has filled your heart” (John 16:6).  In His teaching before He leaves them He has extraordinary truths to tell them, realities that will radically alter their understanding of the core of their belief:  “Hear O Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is One.”  Yes, He is indeed One, but even that truth has more depth.  Jesus wants them to begin to understand that depth, the One God in three Persons, before He is arrested.  Twenty centuries later we still wrestle to know how to know the One C. S. Lewis calls “the Three-Personal God.”  Download the passage and see what you can discover about the One who are Three, and the Three who is One.
