Yesterday’s reading (1 Corinthians 3:1-3) raised the pointed issue of whether you or I are a “milk” or “solid food” Christian. The writer to the Hebrews goes harder and becomes more personal.
At the end of chapter 5, lack of spiritual growth and understanding is squarely plonked in the lap of our laziness. Before I rush off insulted and incensed, I should take stock of whether I am so complacent and smug about what I know of God’s revelations that I’m too lazy to understand more.
This might be particularly hard to swallow for someone who should be a teacher of the faith; someone who has been doing this Christian thing long enough to help others do likewise. Yet, as Hebrews makes abundantly clear, laziness stunts growth and arrests development.
QUESTION: If you have stopped trying to understand the things of God and Jesus, why might you seek to change that?

O tomto plánu
A lot of emphasis is placed upon making the leap from childhood into adulthood. At some point, it’s going to seem weird or juvenile if we haven’t “grown up”. The Christian faith shares this element of maturing and developing. A steady yet sometimes overlooked part of our Christian faith is “growing up” – and it’s not just a solo pursuit. Christians are called to help each other in maturity.
