Hebrews 5:11-6:12 Time For Your Spinach!!

The writer of Hebrews has already been seen to shift back and forth between theology and exhortation -- sometimes abruptly. In today's passage, this rhetorical technique is on full display. Gone is the time for baby's milk; it's time to eat your vegetables.  Further, to continue the food references, there is a "Wake up and smell the coffee!" tone to the teaching.

The writer seems to be saying something like this:

Considering the time and situation, you should be much further along in your understanding and relationship with Christ. It's time to recognize the reality of who you truly are in Christ and it's time for you to commit to going deeper than ever before.
