Hebrews 5:7-14

In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. (ESV)

by Patrick London

A teacher must first learn and master the principles he is taught before he can attempt to impart his knowledge to others. In these times many do not want to invest the time to learn how to be effective teachers of the word of God thus becoming spiritually anemic. We need to learn how to depend on the Holy Spirit whose responsibility is to teach us what we need to know. Let us trust God’s plan as he continues to point the way to us.
