Milk Comes First

Bible in a Year:

• 1 Kings 8–9
• Luke 21:1–19

Solid food is for the mature.

Hebrews 5:14

In the seventh century, what is now called the United Kingdom was many kingdoms often at war. When one king, Oswald of Northumbria, became a believer in Jesus, he called for a missionary to bring the gospel to his region. A man named Corman was sent, but things didn’t go well. Finding the English “stubborn,” “barbarous,” and uninterested in his preaching, he returned home frustrated.

“I am of the opinion,” a monk named Aidan told Corman, “that you were more severe to your unlearned hearers than you ought to have been.” Instead of giving the Northumbrians “the milk of more easy doctrine,” Corman had given them teaching they couldn’t yet grasp. Aidan went to Northumbria, adapted his preaching to the people’s understanding, and thousands became believers in Jesus.

Aidan got this sensitive approach to mission from Scripture. “I gave you milk, not solid food,” Paul told the Corinthians, “for you were not yet ready for it” (1 Corinthians 3:2). Before right living can be expected from people, Hebrews says, basic teaching about Jesus, repentance, and baptism must be grasped (Hebrews 5:13–6:2). While maturity should follow (5:14), let’s not miss the order. Milk comes before meat. People can’t obey teaching they don’t understand.

The faith of the Northumbrians ultimately spread to the rest of the country and beyond. Like Aidan, when sharing the gospel with others, we meet people where they are.

Reflect & Pray

In simple terms, how would you explain the gospel? How can you avoid expecting people who aren’t believers in Jesus to think or behave as you do?

Jesus, thank You for reaching me in ways I could understand.

Good evening night owl ((HUGS))
WOO HOO you're getting rain.
We had a hot day here.
Hoping for a bit of rain.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

“If you’re retired, everyday is Friday!”

Good for you. Myself, I’m resigned to the fact that I’ll be able to retire two weeks after my funeral...

In For The Count

Good evening ML ((HUGS))
How're things up you way? Hot?

[beachn4fun]

Hot here too. But a cool down is coming. Can you push your cool air this way?

I bought some flowers for our pots.
Trying to grow some vegetables in containers again this year.

[luvie]

I figured you were sick of rain after you’ve had so much. Doesn’t take long for it to dray out, though, does it.

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[beachn4fun]

Doesn’t take long for it to dray out, though, does it.

No it doesn't.
I'm more interested in the relief the rain would (hopefully) bring.
Plus, I just put plants in some pots.
