Now in this message we are getting to the meat of the matter on this last Day of Unleavened Bread. Hebrews 5:12-14, "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." A newborn baby desires milk just as we desire the word of God. How much do we have to show from the time of our baptism? Babes in Christ must grow up or something is wrong with the growth process. We should begin to resemble the mind of Christ. Knowledge alone is not meat. Knowing must be followed by doing. We must be a work to do a work.
