“For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
Hebrews 5:13-14 KJV
The revelation of righteousness is the meat of God’s Word. Babes live on milk (the prophetic shadow of the real, which was to come); so does everyone who is not pierced in the ear of his/her heart by the revelation of Christ. God’s act of righteousness in Christ restored mankind to blameless innocence. This is the nourishment of the mature. They are those who have their faculties of perception trained as by gymnastic precision, to distinguish the relevant from the irrelevant. The mature are those who know the difference between the shadow and the substance; between the futility of the law of works and willpower to work righteousness, and righteousness revealed by the faith of God in the finished work of Christ. Let’s be the ones who meditate on Christ’s finished work of the Cross even more! Amen!
