had a senior sunday school midyear review... besides some things being sad and not so good, there were the good things as well.
a little story was shared by ron and it was a lot of insight. i will remember it for a long long time.
a baby cries because he is hungry. the father will feed him.
a 9 yr old son asks his father, 'dad, i'm hungry.' the father puts the cooked food on the table for him to eat. and the son feeds himself.
a teenager son asks his father, 'dad, i'm hungry.' the father replies, 'there's some cooked food in the fridge, go get some'.
an adult son asks his father, 'dad, i'm hungry.' the father replies, 'there's food in the fridge, go cook some'.
this is dealing with the issue of a timeline, the effort of eating food and method of feeding.
we are fed by our father when we are babies. and one stage older, we got to use our hands to pick the food that is prepared for us. another stage older, we go and look to get some ourselves. at the highest stage, we cook some for ourselves to eat.
as we age physically, we realize that in the real world, we want to be more independent and we want the more matured stuff.
unfortunately, for spiritual food. its taken lightly.
a teenager still wants to be fed by the father?
