The breast is the gland of a woman, which produces milk for her infant. And even our Lord partook of the milk of the breast. “A certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!’ But He said, ‘More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!’” (Luke 11:27-28) For the milk is the promise that is given to infants, and the bread is the Word which is given to believers. And “like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.” (1 Peter 2:2-3) And the father of the nations gave milk to the angels. “And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.” (Genesis18:7-8) And by this kind act, they promised he would father the nations. “And He said, ‘I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.’” (Genesis 18:10) And God promised that His people would inherit this milk. “You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out. And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and therefore I abhor them. But I have said to you, ‘You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples” (Leviticus 20:22-24)
