After Paul’s three years in Arabia, he now begins the ministry of #Jesus. Through his writings one sees a common theme: The early Believers throughout the Roman Empire have largely remained babes in the Lord, still drinking the “Milk of the Word.” Paul admonishes them to partake in the Solid Food, the mature teaching of the faith.
What keeps people only in the basics of the Faith? Is is the Pastor’s fault? Is it the church’s fault? Is it the Fault of the individual? The Book of Hebrews, which many believe Paul wrote, gives an explanation:
“In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” Hebrews 5:12-14
