example in chapter 2 of 1 Peter he describes the spiritual nourishment in the word of God by comparing it to the nourishing milk of a nursing mother for her new born babe.\u00a0 But then without any apparent transition the metaphor changes to Christ being a stone for the building up of God&#8217;s house.\u00a0 As a work of literature we might have a ground to criticize Peter, but as a conveyor of rich spiritual content, we will see today that Peter&#8217;s writing is full of the divine thought and deep experiential enlightenment.<\/p>\n<div itemscope
