Jan 20 : Heb 5-6
Hello. Are you mature? You may think you are mature now because you are now in college, you are in a serious relationship, you are hairier, you are smarter, and you can vote. But are you mature in Christ? Am I mature in Christ? To that question I have an answer so simple and true, "NO!" I am not mature in Christ. I realize day after day I have much maturing to do. In these two chapters I realize the amount of growing I need to accomplish. My body elongating, widening, aging, hairying is not an accomplishment, its a nature process of our bodies - these are not accomplishments. The kind of growing I am talking is about accomplishments. To grow spiritually we need to "leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity..." How true is that!? And it further goes on to say, "...not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and to faith in God." For how long have I been feeding on baby food. I want this year to be the year I feel the satisfaction of graduating from Gerbers to Captain Gyros. I want to move from Kia to Hyundai, from catepillar to butterfly, from Zerg to Protoss. But you know what, "solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. " Can you declare this as your goal? I sure can.
