Time to Grow Up

TIME TO GROW UP

Ephesians 4:13–15 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

When a child is born, we expect them to grow. We measure their height, we track their weight, we celebrate when they take their first steps and speak their first words. If a five-year-old was still crawling around in diapers, we'd be concerned. If a teenager was still throwing tantrums like a two-year-old, we'd know something was wrong.
