Trinity

A while ago, I was talking with a friend who was struggling with the concept of the Trinity. As I thought about this, I couldn't help but think of electricity. If we are the light bulb, the Father is the source of electricity or the breaker, Christ is the medium through which the electricity is poured or the cord, and the Holy Spirit is the flow of electricity by which the light bulb is lit. All three are necessary to light the bulb. As humans, we can go throughout life without the Triune God, but we fail to fulfill our purpose. Just as a light bulb can exist without being lit, but what's the point.
