When our son was eight, he became excited because he was going to become an uncle. Then one day when he came home from school he was met with the casual greeting, “Hi, Uncle David.” Talk about excited!
Later when we all had our first look at the new arrival, no one thought to tell David it is normal for a new baby to look red and wrinkled, and tiny babies cry often. After David had watched the baby for a while and had listened to his howls, he turned to us with a mischievous grin and asked, “You mean I’m an uncle to that?”
Everyone loves a baby, but no one would want a baby to fail to grow and mature. The Bible compares new Christians to newborn babies, but it also says that the new Christians are to grow and develop through Bible study.
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. I Peter 2:2 (KJV)
