-26. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each one fully God.  Each one distinct from the other.  Yet they are ONE God.  Although the mystery of who our God is goes far beyond our comprehension, what Good News that he makes his works known to us!  For he is the only God who blesses. Parts: A. The Father keeps us under his care. B. The Son shines on us with his grace. C. The Spirit grants us peace.  Preached on May 26, 2013, for Festival of the Holy Trinity, at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church (WELS), Hancock, MN. Print copy at http://hancocklutheran.org/sermons/The-Only-God-Who-Blesses-Numbers6_24-26.html
