Dr. Adrian: YOU SEE, THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY TRINITY DOES NOT DEPEND UPON YOUR LOGIC, UPON YOUR REASON, IT DEPENDS UPON DIVINE REVELATION. PEOPLE RACE THEIR THEOLOGICAL ENGINES TRYING TO FIND SOME COMPARISON TO COMPARE GOD TO, TO EXPLAIN THE TRINITY. PUT THIS VERSE DOWN, ISAIAH 40:18, “WITH WHOM, THEN, WILL YE LIKEN GOD? OR WITH WHAT LIKENESS WILL YOU COMPARE HIM?” WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO COMPARE GOD TO? YOU CAN COMPARE ONE MAN TO ANOTHER MAN, ONE CHAIR TO ANOTHER CHAIR, ONE PIANO TO ANOTHER PIANO.
THERE’S ONLY ONE GOD. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO COMPARE HIM TO ANYTHING. Announcer: PROFOUND TRUTH. SIMPLY STATED. THIS IS LOVE WORTH FINDING WITH PASTOR, TEACHER, AND AUTHOR, ADRIAN ROGERS. ♪ Dr. Adrian: WOULD YOU TAKE GOD’S WORD AND FIND THE CHRISTMAS STORY IN LUKE 1 AND WHEN YOU’VE FOUND IT LOOK UP HERE. AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT THE GREAT QUESTION OF THE AGES IS, WHO IS THIS BABY THAT, LUKE TELLS ABOUT IN THE BIRTH OF THE CHILD? ANSWER THAT QUESTION RIGHT AND ACT ON YOUR ANSWER, AND ALL WILL BE RIGHT.
ANSWER THAT QUESTION WRONGLY AND ALL WILL BE WRONG. I WANT TO READ TO YOU JUST ONE VERSE AND THAT IS LUKE 1:35. THE ANGEL IS SPEAKING TO MARY, THE VIRGIN MARY, AND HERE’S WHAT THE ANGEL SAID TO MARY, THE ANGEL GABRIEL, “AND THE ANGEL ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER, ‘THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON THEE,'” UNDERSCORE THE WORD HOLY GHOST, “‘THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON THEE AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW THEE,'” UNDERSCORE THE HIGHEST, “‘THEREFORE, ALSO, THAT HOLY THING WHICH SHALL BE BORN OF THEE SHALL BE
CALLED THE SON OF GOD,'” UNDERSCORE THE SON OF GOD. THE HOLY GHOST, THE HIGHEST, THE SON OF GOD. WHO WAS THIS CHILD? WHO IS JESUS? WHO IS THIS BABY? HE IS GOD IN THE FLESH. NOT ONLY IS HE THE SON OF GOD, HE IS GOD THE SON. YOU SAY, “WELL, HOW CAN THAT BE? HOW CAN GOD BE MANIFEST IN THE FLESH?” WELL, WE COME TO A WONDERFUL DOCTRINE THAT I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT TODAY AND IT IS THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY, THE TRINITY.
