This is even more interesting to me because it symbolizes
our walk with Christ. You see, as babes in Christ, the milk represents the
basics of God. On the milk, we are still not completely understanding what it
means to walk with Christ. Our spirit is not ready to process the solid foods. We
look at the walk as a religion. It is a one-way operation.
The solid food symbolizes a deeper level in our walk with
Christ. We are able to move from religion to relationship. Faith becomes
actions. Our spirit is able to recognize that the earth is the Lord’s and the
fullness there of. We understand that greater is He who is in us than he who is
in the world.
As I am sitting here thinking, I remember a conversation I
had with a family member one time. We were discussing some family issues and I
was reminded by my cousin of the milk. Like our maturation as humans, we need
spiritual milk to begin to grow in Christ. Unlike our human process, people can
remain on spiritual milk. You see, not everyone that you encounter is ready to
process a deeper understanding of what it truly means to worship Christ and to
die to ourselves. People may have accepted Christ and believe in Him, but that
does not mean they are ready to operate in faith, hope and love, with the
greatest of these being love. It means they are ready to love neighbors as they
love themselves.
Not everyone has the faith to get out the boat in order to
walk on the water. Some folks just got milk.
