The taste of the Lord

After I Peter 2:1-3

 

An odd thing, isn’t it,

that the Lord can be

tasted, yet that’s

what the man writes

in his letter, that 

the taste of the Lord

is good. It is the taste

of spiritual milk, 

milk that is pure.

Drink it, and grow up

into salvation. You 

will know and we will

know, because you will

set aside all malice,

and deceit, and hypocrisy,

and envy, and slander.

All of it, put way.

So, taste, and drink up.
