The same Greek word can be translated “temptation” and “test.” They are a world apart and context determines which translation to use. Satan is the one who tempts us to sin. God is the one who tests us to righteousness. Satan wants to destroy us. He wants to weaken our faith. He wants us to spiritually fail. On the other hand, our Lord is forever testing us. His goal though tests, often in the form of trials, is to make us spiritually stronger, refine our character and increase our faith. Part of the test at times is overcoming the temptation. It is the Lord in His sovereignty who sends test. “Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil” (Mt. 4:1). However, it is during these tests that Satan finds His greatest opportunity to tempt us. So when the heat in life is turned up, will we trust God and walk by faith in His commandments or will we listen to the “father of lies” and sin? The prayer here is that the Lord will help us pursue righteous actions as we emerge from the test spiritually victorious.

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove roast from the refrigerator ast least two hours before beginning to
cook. Place in a shallow roasting pan and liberally sprinkle fatty top with
salt and pepper. Pat in. To protect the oven from spattering fat, place a
tent of aluminum foil loosely over the top of the meat. Preheat the oven to
500*F and when preheated place roast in oven and roast for the times listed
below. THE TIMES MUST ABE ADHERED TO EXACTLY. Set a timer to remind you as
a few minutes of overcooking will ruin the roast. When the cooking time
ends, turn off the oven but DO NOT open the door. Allow the roast to remain
in the oven for at least 1 hour or until the oven is luke warm, which
occurs in about 2 hours. The roast will be beautifully rare inside and
retain a crunchy outside and an internal heat suitable for serving for 2
hours. The roasting time works out to 15 minutes per rib or approximately 5
minutes per pound. NOTES:  1. For a 2 rib roast weighing 41/2 -5 lbs. allow
25 to 30 minutes at 500*F
cutting the meat from the bones. Then return the chine bone and the meat to
its original shape and tie the roast to hold it together. This will
facilitate your carving.
