Jesus really messed up the Jewish view of God! The standard line was God is One - no infinite varities of national and personal gods. Jesus called God 'Father' and identified himself as His 'son'. He forgave sins and called himself 'I Am'. He was born of a virgin and claimed to exist before Abraham. The Pharisees killed him because of blasphemy and he rose from the dead.
Jesus is a true mystery of divine humanity. But to make things yet more interesting, Jesus talked about another Helper - the Holy Spirit. All that Jesus did in his human life, he did in the power of the Holy Spirit for his Father. There are three players in this God equation all on the stage at the same time.
We are invited to be immersed into this reality which is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
