I Peter VIII: SImple

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation (I Peter 2:2 ESV)

 

Simple

 

I had a conversation this morning about cars.  While fancy things like back-up cameras, super predictive and reactive automatic transmissions, separate temperature controls for every seat, and mobile hotspots, GPS, and location broadcasters are all exciting and attractive, sometimes I am not so sure.

 

Usually, the fancy things break.

 

Usually, the fancy things need adjustments.

 

Usually, the fancy things end up being replaced by fancier things.

 

Usually, the fancy things are expensive.

 

I miss my first vehicle.  Manual transmission.  Manual windows. Triangle windows for air circulation.  Maps in my glovebox.

 

It did what it was supposed to do.  It was inexpensive.  I could make most repairs on my own.

 

And it was my first car, so I adored it!  I was excited every time I started it! I wanted to show it off, even to folk who might not be as impressed as I was.

 

Salvation is like that.  Just give me Jesus.
