1 Corinthians chapter 3, verses 1 through 3.

But I brothers could not address you as spiritual people,

but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it.

And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh.

This is the beginning of another section in 1st Corinthians where Paul is addressing

the disunity and division in the church at Corinth, which was a picture of their

spiritual immaturity. And so he says to them, I couldn't address you as spiritual people,

but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. So he calls them basically like spiritual babies. And he said, I'm feeding

you with milk, not solid food, because you couldn't take down solid food. So we know that analogy

with a child who's only able to take milk. And then the picture is they grow to where they

begin to take on a little more solid food, a little more solid food, and then the picture is they grow to where they begin to take on a little more solid food,

a little more solid food, and then finally to where they have a diet of solid food regularly

in taking solid food. So that's what Paul's desire is for them as followers of Christ,

that they not just have to feast on elementary things,

and albeit important, like milk, but God has more for them.

And this is where I, there's so many applications of this,

but I just want to encourage you to think about your Christian life right now,

like, how have you grown over the last six months to a year? What kind of food are you eating now

spiritually that you wouldn't have been able to eat six months or a year ago?

But now your taste buds, your maturity, you've grown to another level of spiritual food.
