An Image of God: An Image of Humanity
An excerpt from Jurgen Moltmann's The Trinity and the Kingdom.
"Through their tenderly intimate inclination towards one another, the three Persons show the profound unity joining them, in which they are one. The chalice on the table points to the surrender of the Son on Golgotha. Just as the chalice stands at the center of the table round which the three Persons are sitting, so the Cross of the Son stands for eternity in the center of the Trinity. Anyone who grasps the truth of this picture understands that it is only in the unity with one another which springs from the self-giving of the Son 'for many' that men and women are in conformity with the triune God. We understand the people only arrive at their own truth in their free and loving inclination towards one another."
