Hebrews 6:4

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost...
Forgive me if I am taking this out of context a bit... but just reading the John Wesley commentary for that verse last nite and was going..... WOW.. so well written! ^0^
in the commentary it says: Enlightened, tasted, and partaker, the 3 words indeed have an order. As every baby born would see the light first, and then taste his/her nourishments, and then as they grow, can partake of the things of this world.
Likewise a Christian will be born and grow in the same natural sequence. The moment we 1st believed God and accepted Jesus salvation... is like seeing our 1st light... to a different and much better world of full glory. Then as we grow... we taste our nourishments... 1st milk, then solid food(which also ties in closely with Hebrews 5:12-14 ^^)... as we grow more... we learn to partake more and more of the things "of the world to come".
Just thought the analogy is soo.. smart! and subtle. i really wouldn't have picked it up were it not for the commentary. Praise the Lord!
