A mature life

Rachel Fasham | 1 Corinthians 3.1-13 | Colossians 1.24-29 

Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly – mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarrelling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?

[Christ] is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

We know that, as Christians, we need to grow up in our faith - though as the sketch which begins the recording shows, some of us might be more happy to remain as children. Rachel explains some ways in which we can grow and so become more like Jesus.
