You big baby. ( Hebrews 5 v 11 - 14 )

Imagine going into an infant school, and there sitting among the little infants was a grown man, and you went over and asked the teacher, whats he doing,well she replies,he has been coming here 25 yrs.She went on to say he is a bright person ,but all he  wants to know is just the basics, I have tried to help him,but he will not move forward . Well it seems a strange little story,so let translate you back about 2000 yrs,to a group of Christians,we read about in the Bible,we call them the Hebrew Christians.They were struggling in their walk with God,even at the point of turning back,from following Christ.They were confused and at the point of even going back to being Old Covenant Israelites  ,back to legalism ,to rules and regulations, turning  back to a religion that would take them away from God, giving up Christ ,the one who is greater than angels,than Moses, than Aaron . One of the problems was they had not advanced in their Christian faith,they should have been teachers advanced in Christian knowledge,but instead they were still babes in Christ.I believe that churches are full of people who have not moved on in the things of God. Hughes in his commentary on Hebrews writes the following, 'The point is, that the beginning  of  our Christian Faith is not a stopping  place; it is the door to progress and the springboard to achievement.' 'ahead of them stretched the road to spiritual maturity'.I wonder are you a big baby?
