弟兄姊妹们主内平安，今天我们分享的经文来自新约希伯来书（Hebrews5:11-14）

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
论到麦基洗德，我们有好些话，并且难以解明，因为你们听不进去。看你们学习的工夫，本该作师傅，谁知还得有人将神圣言小学的开端另教导你们，并且成了那必须吃奶、不能吃干粮的人。凡只能吃奶的，都不熟练仁义的道理，因为他是婴孩。惟独长大成人的才能吃干粮，他们的心窍习练得通达，就能分辨好歹了。

论到麦基洗德，我们有好些话，并且难以解明，因为你们听不进去。看你们学习的工夫，本该作师傅，谁知还得有人将神圣言小学的开端另教导你们，并且成了那必须吃奶、不能吃干粮的人。凡只能吃奶的，都不熟练仁义的道理，因为他是婴孩。惟独长大成人的才能吃干粮，他们的心窍习练得通达，就能分辨好歹了。
透过这段经文作者责备某些受信人领悟迟钝，对于进深的真理听不进去，他们“本该作师傅”去教导别人，但却还对基本真理没有足够的认识，还需要有人将初信的真理教导他们。
这些人是什么身份？我们似乎有足够的理由相信这绝不是指一所教会的全体会众，因为并非每一名会友都能够担负教导的责任。由此可见，这应该是一群具备教导别人的潜力、但对真理的基本知识却很贫乏的人，他们自己还必须回到基础真理。他们很可能是一些知识分子，却缺乏属灵的领悟力。　
作者紧跟着就具体指出这些受信人的需要，那就是∶还得有人将神圣言小学的开端，另教导你们。很显然这些人不但不长进，而且也已经失落了对“小学的开端”的认识。他们必须回到起点，从最根本的道理着手，这对他们的属灵领悟力是个很可悲的评语。
最后，作者提出吃奶和吃干粮的对比，来说明一个人从吃奶到吃干粮的正常发展过程。吃干粮之前必须先有吃奶的过程，但是假若仅仅停留在吃奶的阶段，那是不足够的、可悲的。物质层面如此，属灵层面更是如此。对真理有不同层次的认识，对属灵事物渴慕，肯用心追求的人，才能不仅在知识上提升，也能使属灵生命更加成熟。
让我们一起来祷告：主啊，我们承认自己也是自高自大、常常以知识为满足的人，求你帮助我们不仅在真理的知识上进深，更要在生命的操练上成长，使心窍习练得通达，从而得以长大成人！
