When One Equals Three

 

 

What kind of mathematics

Can this be?

In which part of the Universe

Can one equal three?

 

One plus one plus one

Is equal to three,

How therefore can only one

Be equal also to three?

 

A very good question

If you ask me,

A follow-up question should be

Where could the answer be.

 

Most mathematicians, I believe,

Would laugh this to scorn

And dismiss you with the quip,

“You’ve been poorly informed.”

 

Someone may cite base 2

But he would still be wrong,

In base 2 there is no number 3

Since only 0 and 1 can be found.

 

There is one case I know

And perhaps you know it too:

The explanation of the Trinity

Is the answer I have for you.

 

There is only one God

Yet there are three persons:

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit

That reign in the heavens.

 

The blessed Tri-unity

Deserving of worship alone:

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Three persons yet one.

 

 

The proof is in the Bible

The difference is their roles

God is the Heavenly Father

Jesus is the shepherd of the fold.

 

The Holy Spirit indwells

But so too the Father and the Son,

Every born-again believer

Is a part of the Heavenly kingdom.

 

Jesus and the Father

Are one with the Holy Spirit:

Three in one and one in three

That’s heavenly mathematics.

 

And they indwell the believer

As a single unit

The Father and the Son

Facilitated by the Holy Spirit.
