The Father and Son and Holy Spirit

There exists a stark contrast between the Father and the Holy Spirit. When the Father manifests, it often results in chaos, with fear, havoc, and destruction ensuing, instilling terror and prompting many to perish for even the slightest transgression, be it action or thought. Consequently, individuals seek mediation. Very few can cope with contact with God, the Father in any direct encounter beyond visions or dreams. Conversely, the Holy Spirit, while still possessing elements of awe, operates on a much smaller scale, embodying gentleness akin to a dove. The Holy Spirit rarely instills terror but rather communicates through a serene, bell-like voice, penetrating minds and inspiring with its purest essence, reaching many simultaneously and leaving an indelible mark akin to a source of boundless inspiration like a fountain of living water, of water of life.

The overwhelming dread and mortality associated with the Father's presence render frequent direct interactions impractical. Instead, He delegates messengers: angels, prophets, witnesses, and most significantly, His Son. The Son, being human, serves as the ultimate mediator between the Father and humanity, capable of withstanding direct communion with the Father while also connecting with humans on a relatable level. His sinless existence allows Him to empathize with humans, having lived a normal human life. The Son's profound closeness to the Father is such that beholding him in spiritual insight or vision or physical encounter is akin to encountering the Father, illustrating their profound interconnectedness.

The Holy Spirit now assumes the role of an intermediary between humans and Jesus Christ, the Son, not only spiritually revealing Jesus but also imparting His wisdom to believing individuals in diverse ways, acting as a conduit for divine inspiration, since everything is given to Jesus by the Father, God.
