Desire the Solid Food

Concluding Hebrews 5, we return to the exhortation of this author to grow in our knowledge of the Word of righteousness; this we can do by desiring the solid food of the Word. Still, we should realize that the solid food is for those who are mature, meaning those "who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." So, maturity is not simply a matter of learning, but of putting that knowledge to use in our practice. We are called to live in this way to the glory of God.
