Milk -v- Meat

The lovely Q talks about milk and meat and I feel this message is truly inspired.

We give a baby milk before we feed the baby with solids and yet beyond the milk all the baby needs is our love and hugs.

What the world needs more then anything is love can we as Christians give an outpouring of love beyond measure so that all hearts from every religion, culture and race can overflow with the supreme love of GOD?

being love

I am amazed sometimes of the volume of this little word LOVE. How in just four little letters we can place all the vast little details of in this case what it takes to care for a baby.
In fact it is not till children become parents that they fully grasp what a mothers/fathers love really entails.
The thought just overwhelms my ability to calculate the minutes dollars emotions and dedication it would take to find the sum of this love.

And for me just a few babies leaves me this marveled.

To think our Heavenly Father has loved the world generation after generation with a greater and deeper love than we are capable.
Just kind of blows your mind to think of the details required for that.

Dearest Sacred,

In the Christian way, a born again, must often be fed the "milk" of scripture, before receiving the "meat" of scripture.

Please forgive me if I mislead you as to my intent, when I used milk and meat in a previous thread. That was my mistake.

Re: Milk -v- Meat

Well as Jesus said Q we have to have the innocence of a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven so the meat is not a neccessity. All the world needs is the innocence and purity of the heart of love to get through the eye of the needle.

Hugs

Re: Milk -v- Meat

Here is an interesting verse to throw in this mix.

Pr 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

Meat in a scriptural meaning is a neccessity but only after we have a good diet as Babes on the milk, the simple things, the basic fundamentals.

this milk in a baby builds healthy bones a framework and structure.
It does the same for the Body of Christ the church and Spiritually for the individual.

The Protein in meat after the frame is strong builds strength through muscle. A child also needs this at a certian point as does the body of Christ and the Spiritual individual.

But a nice cold glass of milk with any dinner is still something I enjoy.

Re: Milk -v- Meat

Dear Basstian

Thank you for sharing, that really resonates.

Especially as many people including non christians haven't integrated the basics and until this is integrated IME the foundations stay weak.

From my perspective the first basic is positive thinking.

Love beyond measure

I'm not sure, but I think Jesus said with the "wonder" of a child...

We can never be innocent, however, we can become unbeguiling and full of awe.

He "is" the Immaculate Heart. There is no other. And He sits at the right hand of God the Father. Because of His purity, the Father can look at us, through Jesus.

Only the Blood of Gods Lamb could wash us that clean. There is only one Lamb of God His Name is Jesus. He gave His life as a sacrifice.

Got Milk ?

Re: Milk -v- Meat

that is right. only one lamb could take away the sin of the world and one lamb in particular. JESUS
That lamb is also the shepherd of the sheep.
we have to go through Jesus and washed through his blood. any other way is as a thief and a robber.
Got chocolate for that milk?

Re: Milk -v- Meat

And is a young lamb not a sheep ? Just like a child is a person.

Matthew 18 NIV

The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2 He called a little child and had him stand among them.

3 And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.


10 “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

And Jesus confirms that we should not treat children as inferior beings or with inequality.

On the matter of innocence or humility, and what God said, I believe you answered your own question.
