Remember when Peter said "don't keep acting like you are ignorant?" Well, in Chapter 2 he gives a little better direction. Almost like he should have written this chapter before he reminded us of how "not so smart" we are. He tells us that we as believers (followers/seekers/disciples) should start out on the easy stuff (milk) in the Bible. Then move on to the heavy stuff.
In other words, don't get caught up in trying to figure out "why do babies die?" or "why are there wars?" Peter, just like Paul in First Corinthians says start with the easy stuff and grow in your faith. All we have to do is spend a little time each day reading, and letting what we read sink in. When we have questions, we shouldn't let those stop us from reading more.
As we read, we will eventually find the answers – they might not be obvious, but they are there!
I got past the easy stuff in chapter 2, and went looking for that corner stone. What was it that he was actually talking about, and how did that relate to Jesus. That was a trip worth taking – all the way back to the Old Testament and what Isaiah and Ezekial had to say. Now I'm in the loop to find the significance of the "stone". Stay tuned.
