Genesis 1v26 - A mistake

These discussions are really exciting - out of my first blog on Genesis 1 1-26 I have discovered that I have missed something very important as I have discussed things with you.

In all the excitement and wonder of this furious creation scene I seemed to have managed to overlook someone. The 'Spirit' is the first person of the Godhead that distinctly makes him/herself known (v2). If we allow ourselves to run ahead a little we also discover there is another person neatly concealed in this story. The gospel of John defines the 'Word' as God's Son. So within the first 3 verses of this book we have already been introduced to the mystery of God's threeness. But what really makes this beautiful is that we cannot see that at first. It speaks of the oneness of God and helps us see their inseparable intimacy. In this chapter that abounds with goodness we cannot decipher the individual easily - no we are drawn into the unity of God. Here three people dwell in perfect harmony and they are inseparable. It is unthinkable that they might be parted.
