… at least that’s what the warning of Hebrews 5:11-14 sounds like. Here’s a great summary from George Guthrie’s excellent commentary:
In [these verses] the author offers a bald assessment of his hearer’s current condition. They exhibit a dullness as learners of God’s truth, even though they have been engaged in the Christian walk long enough now to be teachers of others. The preacher likens them to infants [still drinking milk], who cannot handle more substantive fare.”
I wonder where you struggle to be a learner? It might be that some of us don’t like the deep things, because they will require some effort, and, quite frankly, we don’t want to put it forward. It might be a matter of priorities for some of us. Others struggle to just get passed the milk. Regardless of where we’re at on the journey. The writer of Hebrews (read: God) wants us to wake up and realize that not choosing to deepen in the truth is a choice to stay immature. These things simply shouldn’t be. Oh, that God would give grace this coming Lord’s Day as we look into these things.
