Heb 5:8-10  "Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. 


Jesus Christ, Isa Al Masih, Yeshua Messiah the only begotten Son of God is Yahweh! "Very God of Very God"! He learned obedience through suffering. Not that God had to learn anything, but the experience of suffering was new. God entered into our suffering. This made Yeshua the perfect example of obedience to us. His suffering was undeserved- substitutionary. Our suffering is self inflicted- our choice of sin; yet by grace the ultimate result of sin, expulsion from the presence of God is covered by obedience in the suffering Jesus endured and triumphed over. He is Absolute Love. 
This is something that we could go deeper into, it is difficult to understand and worth looking further into, but you need to be at a certain level of maturity in your relationship with Christ. Fully walking in the Spirit!


Heb 5:11-13  "About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.  For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,  for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child." 


This is something that we could go deeper into, it is difficult and worth looking further into, but you need to be at a certain level of discernment. Your mind and heart needs to be in a constant state of training always knowing how to distinguish between good and evil. A level of maturity needs to be passed, but you still need to get the basic feedings. You have gained the skill of understanding God's Word. 


Heb 5:14  "But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." 


So, let's not just hold on to the foundation. Repentance and faith in God through Jesus, a real active living faith entered into by God's grace. After that you don't have to keep going over the basics of preparing to glorify God by the way you eat or worship, you don't have to know about when people will be resurrected, or how and when the end judgement is going to take place. 



Heb 6:1,2  "Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment." 


What is important now is to learn more about obedience through suffering and how God wants to deepen His relationship with you through learning to be faithful through dying to yourself. Learning more of the meaning of loving others, like Jesus loved you. He is Absolute Love. 



Mat 16:24-26  "Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.  For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?" 



Php 3:7-11  "But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.  Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith-- that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead."
