Simple as an orange

[jesussaves]

I just had the most refreshing visit with an elder saint of the Lord. She is pushing 80 years old, and filled with knowledge of the Word. The Lord called her to teach about 50 years ago, and sitting at her table was a real treat. Among the many things she said that blessed me I would like to share this one with you.

She asked me a question. "What can one learn about the Lord from an orange?"

What she told me was so simple even a child could grasp it, and yet rich in wisdom.

She said the orange has three parts, yet it is just one piece of fruit.

The outer part, the peel, is the part that holds it all together. The fruity part is the meat that we eat of and receive nurishment. Inside the meat is the seed, which is given to produce more, bearing witness to the fruit.

Can everyone see that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is a Trinity, yet One God.

Bless the Lord O my soul, and all that is within me ,bless His holy name! God is good!! Don't ya just love Him with all your heart, soul body and mind!!! He is truly worthy!

I am having trouble replying to your replys. Seems I am logged in but when I reply a window pops up asking me to log in over and over. Anyway...I said all that to reply to those below who seemed to misunderstand what I said.

I did not say three oranges. I said one orange with three parts. The peel which is represented as the Father. The meat which is represented as Jesus, and the seeds which is represented as the Holy Ghost. A Trinity, yet One. Just as we are seperate from the Lord, yet together as one with Him. Hope that clears something up for those who misunderstood.

Does it take three oranges to make one God?

Here's how I see the Holy Trinity. Our sun has three: 1.heat 2.light and 3. energy, yet there is only one sun, not three.

Here how I see it in my mind:

Jehovah God the Father who is the Creator, the Redeemer and Regenerator is meant by the sun's heat, light and energy.

This one God became Man under the name Jesus Christ. There was no trinity before creation. God is one in Person and in Essence.

There was no Son of God and Holy Spirit before creation. Redemption and sanctification take place after creation when Jeovah God became Man.

There was no Holy Spirit before creation, because there were no humans to sanctified. There no Son of God, because there no humans to redeem.

Jehovah God the Father is the Redeemer, because it is written in John, The light is come into the world and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil (John 3:19).

Here's proof that Jehovah God the Father is the Savior and Redeemer.

Am I not Jehovah, and there is no God else beside Me? A just God and a Savior, there is none beside Me (Isa. 45:21, 22).

I am Jehovah; and beside Me there is no Savior (Isa. 43:11).

I am Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt acknowledge no God beside Me and there is no Savior beside Me (Hos. 13:4).

That all flesh may know that I Jehovah am thy Savior and thy Redeemer (Isa. 49:26; 60:16).

As for our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name (Isa. 47:4).

Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah of Hosts is His name (Jer. 1:34).

O Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer (Ps. 19:14).

Thus said Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah thy God (Isa. 48:17; 43:14; 49:7).

Thus said Jehovah, thy Redeemer, I am Jehovah that maketh all things, even alone by Myself (Isa. 44:24).

Thus said Jehovah, the King of Israel, and His Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts, I am the First and I am the Last; and beside Me there is no God (Isa. 44:6).

Thou, O Jehovah, art our Father, our Redeemer; from everlasting is Thy name (Isa. 68:16).

With everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, said Jehovah, Thy Redeemer (Isa. 54:8).

A person with an open mind can see with their understanding that Jehovah God,who is one, came down and was made Man in order to effect redemption, which is meant by the light

Those who in their ignorance believe that there was a trinity of three persons before creation, and that the son of god from this man made trinity was sent,close their eyes to those Divine sayings, and ponder with their eyes shut on how to pervert them and make them square with their false ideas.
