Some would suggest that Jesus was “seeker sensitive” in that He worked His miracles in order to attract large crowds to which He could share the gospel. But in several passages it is plain this is not His motive: Mark 5:43; 7:36; 8:26, 30; and Luke 4:9-12 (and these are by no means exhaustive). Clearly, Christ did not intend these miraculous works for public exploitation. There is little to indicate Christ worked miracles in order to draw a crowd. He was opposed to selling the gospel by appealing to their love for the sensational. (See Jn. 2:23-25)… He sharply rebuked the five thousand for seeking Him for merely physical satisfaction. Jesus did not teach us to draw people to Him by appealing to their senses. Instead He claimed full responsibility for drawing all to Himself by way of the cross (Jn. 12:32); therefore, exalting Christ, "and Him crucified," is to be the primary object in worship, as well as evangelism. (See Rev. 5:8.)

INGREDIENTS

12	sl	Pepperidge Farm diet sliced bread
1/2	c	Butter, softened
3/4	c	Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
3/4	c	Cheddar Cheese, shredded
2 1/2	c	Whole Milk
2	ts	Salt
1/4	ts	Cayenne Pepper
5		Large Eggs, slightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

Butter bread and cut in fingers. Layer in glass loaf pan alternating with
the cheeses. Add seasonings to milk and mix together with eggs. Pour over
bread and let stand in refrigerator overnight. Bake at 350 until brown and
puffy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. It's done when a knife inserted into the
center comes out clean. This will cook much faster if you bring it to room
temperature first.
THE BREAD: Pepperidge Farm Diet Sliced Bread is perfect for this recipe
because it's very thin and heavy. If you can't find this brand, Arnold also
makes a similar bread. The key is to make sure the bread is about half the
thickness of a slice of sandwich bread and quite dense. 100% Whole wheat is
also good for this.
