We are mere infants in Christ.

Meditation
We are mere infants in
Christ.
St Paul is telling the
Corinthians that he fed them with milk and not with solid food for they were
like little children. The Word of God is preached to them, but they are not able to live up to the Word of God. They were weak and fragile failing to live as the
sons and daughters of God. They were quarrelling and disputing themselves on
every possible issue. One of the means to live as children of God is to live in
peace and harmony. Peace is the gift of
the Holy Spirit and guarantee of God’s blessing.
Those who have overcome the world
and come to grown in virtue can still fall short of being stable and steady
in virtue for human nature is weak and corrupted. Let no one fight and divide
themselves but cooperate with God and his ministers for the building of the
Kingdom of God. Humility and dependence on God is the need of everyone to
grow in God and to live as His true sons and daughters.
Do we divide ourselves or unite ourselves for the sake of the Kingdom of God?
