Imaging the Trinity - Join the Dance

I bought this statue from a craft market in Lusaka:



I decided to buy it because it gives us a helpful image of God - Three Persons in Relationship (the 'Trinity'). Technically the persons should be roughly the same height, because no one is lesser or more important than the other, but this is the best the stall-holder had on the day.

The three inseparable persons are in an embrace, and/or in a dance. The incredible thing about God is that He invites us to come in, to join the dance. His purposes are to redeem creation, despite how battered and fallen it has become. By joining the dance we get to take part in that process, releasing others so they can be invited in too.
