A pre-chewed banquet

​Imagine that I was taking you out to the world’s greatest smorgasbord. Now imagine that when we got there, this unbelievable spectacle before you included your most favorite foods and the taste of each would be far greater than anything you have ever digested. Now imagine that a waiter carried your plate for you as you loaded it up with all the delectable morsels.  He then he carried it to your table for you. As you sit down and tucked your napkin into your collar, this waiter surprisingly places an empty plate in front of you.  He then proceeds to take your plate of food and bite by bite he places it in his mouth, chews it up 36 times, and then spits it out on to your plate. He then continues until every speck of the food you so relished is now laying in saliva piled mound on the once empty plate in front of you. My guess is, that with the exception of a few Junior High boys I know, you would not put one bite of that pre-chewed food into your mouth.  Yet, that is the only way many people eat spiritually?  The only time they take in any of the Word of God into their heart and mind is listening to the pre-chewed principles that come from someone else.
