Hebrews 5:12
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.


Reflection
The author of Hebrews is admonishing his readers concerning their obvious lack of maturity.  He tells them that they should, at this point, be teachers.  However, he points out that they are not teachers and to make it even worse they need teachers to point out the basic truths of the faith for them all over again.  He then tells them they are babies in the faith!  How do we know he does this because he says they are only capable of digesting spiritual food like milk?  They are not capable of handling solid spiritual food.

Consider where you stand in your Christian maturity?  Are you feeding on milk or solid food?
