Apart from our union with Christ every effort to imitate Christ, no matter how noble and inspired at the outset, inevitably leads to legalism and spiritual defeat. But once you understand the doctrine of union with Christ, you see that God doesn’t ask us to attain to what we’re not. He only calls us to accomplish what already is. The pursuit of holiness is not a quixotic effort to do just what Jesus did. It’s the fight to live out the life that has already been made alive in Christ.

INGREDIENTS

1	lg	Spanish onion
2	lg	Carrots
1	md	Turnip/swede
1	lb	Leeks
		Potatoes
		Handful pearl barley/rice
1		Cube vegetable stock
1	ts	Dried mixed herbs
		Salt and pepper to taste
		Tomato puree optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a very large saucepan with lid, if possible 2/3 full with cold water
and put it on to boil. This will take a long time, so peel and chop or
slice the onion, carrots, turnip/swede and potatoes. Trim the leeks, slice
down one side, and rinse them thoroughly in cold running water. Chop them
into 1/2 inch rings. Stir the stock cube into the boiling water. Add all
the prepared vegetables, the mixed herbs, and the pearl barley or rice as
you like. Turn down the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally,
until the potato has cooked enough to thicken the soup and all the other
vegetables are tender, but still recognizable. It needs about 40 minutes.
Add more water if required, a little at a time. Adjust flavor with salt and
pepper, and tomato puree if liked.
