"We have still to explain what the apostle said 'I fed you with milk, not solid
food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet, you are not ready. (1 Cor 3:2)
As nursing mothers nourish newborn children on milk, so do I also by Word,
the milk of CHRIST, give you spiritual nourishment. I have given you the knowledge
that nourishes to life eternal.
Now that the kind and loving Father has rained down the Word, it is HE HIMSELF
who has become the spiritual nourishment to the saints. O' Mystic marvel! The Father
of all is one, and one is the Word who belongs to all; and the Holy Spirit is one and the
same everywhere."
