The other day, between trips to our LCMS SELC District Convention and Presidents Assembly, I needed to do our laundry and repack our luggage. When I went to the laundry room, I realized that I didn’t have enough laundry detergent for the four loads of wash. Just then, I remembered that I had a packet of laundry pods stored in the garage. I read the directions and started the washing machine. As I was zipping the packet closed, I saw these words “3-in-1.” Every laundry product that I needed was right there in that little pod.

I immediately thought of the Holy Trinity. Everything that I need is in the Holy Trinity. It is through the lens of the Trinity that we as Christians comprehend the depth of God’s love, the extent of His grace, and the transformative power of His presence in our lives.

Just like the laundry detergent, we are cleansed, and the stains of our sin are taken away.

Peace be with you,
