Teacups and Toasters

Explaining the Trinity is seriously tough. Very often in my work I am needing to explain this concept to children. It’s hard enough as an adult to wrap your mind around 3 beings in 1. For a child it’s even harder. Fortunately, I had the privilege of knowing someone who explained it to me as an adult in a way that made it a little easier to explain to children. If you have trouble with a 3 in 1 perhaps this will help you as well. Please note, I’m just attempting to explain the concept.

Think of an egg. An egg is one thing, yet it has three separate parts. You have the shell, the white, and the yolk. These three separate parts all work together as an egg, yet each have their own qualities.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all God, though certainly each have Their own special qualities.

Hope that helps!
