Hebrews 5 and 6

The foundation

• repentance from dead works
• faith toward God: 
• instruction about washings/baptisms
• laying on of hands (receiving the Holy Spirit) 
• resurrection of the dead
• eternal judgment 

Hebrews calls this spiritual milk. Milk is not bad. In fact it is essential. 

"For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God...He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness" 

And Jesus is our high priest, able to understand all of our weaknesses, he deals wisely and expertly with our ignorance and rebellion, like a skilled surgeon, a compassionate father. 

We can, we must be fully vulnerable with him. 

And one of the best things we can give a friend is Him.
