The Holy Trinity

In the final installment of Seven Lamps Before the Throne, Yona Tree closes the series with a trilogy of parables from Luke 15 that reveal the loving heart of the Holy Trinity toward lost humanity.

• The Lost Sheep portrays God the Son as the Good Shepherd who searches for the lost.
• The Lost Coin portrays the Holy Spirit — in Yona Tree’s interpretation — as the woman who lights a candle and searches diligently until what was lost is found.
• The Prodigal Son portrays God the Father, who sees His child a great way off and runs to embrace him.

A lost sheep, a lost coin, a lost child. A shepherd, a woman, a father. Salvation comes from the Father, through the Son, by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit — and it cannot be earned. The study ends with the vision of Revelation 22, where “the Spirit and the bride say, Come,” and a final summary of the offices of each Member of the Holy Trinity.
