Deeper Things?

Every so often I will run into believers who claim they have "dove into the deeper truths," and then I will ask them "what deeper truths are those?"  Typically the response is clouded with words such as "meaty" and "stout" and "hard truths", "speaking in tongues" but the bottom line is they have plunged into pride.  How do we go deeper? "Going deeper" is a common punch-line we love to say.  Let me ask this, do you think the truth of the cross is something you've already mastered and now it's time to move on to deeper truths?In 1 Corinthians 3 Paul rebukes the Corinthians for only being able to handle milk and unable to take in meat because they are so carnal.  Many teachers will say the milk is the gospel, and the meat is something else, and I would ask what in the world is the meat then?  It's certainly the gospel being understood in a greater way.  Listen to how Paul warns the Galatian church regarding them moving to "deeper things".  

Galatians 3:1,3 "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified.....Are you so foolish having begun in the Spirit are you now made perfect by the flesh."

The way we move into "deeper things" is to understand the cross of Jesus Christ in a deeper way.  Am I amazed at Him as if He died yesterday for my sins?  All the scriptures point us to Jesus Christ.  He is the hero, He is the big picture, He is the deep things of God.  It takes the Spirit of God to reveal Jesus to our hearts.  Jesus and His gospel is what we will need every day of our lives until we die, and when people ask us how we are doing we ought to respond "a lot better than I deserve."  You can't go deeper than Jesus. He is the milk and the meat.
