We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

This is why the Bible teaches that faith alone in Christ alone is the only way to salvation from sin. Faith is the anti-work. It’s the realization that there is nothing you can do but trust in what has been done for you in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Faith is the realization that God’s pleasure in you will never be based upon your performance for Him. Instead, God’s pleasure in you will always be based upon Christ’s performance for you.
David Platt

In whom is the New Covenant fulfilled? [Several suggestions] have been given (one's decision on this question will be determined by the interpretation of Luke 22:20 (Mt. 26:28; Mark 14:24); 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6; Hebrews 8:6-13; 9:15; 10:15; 10:19ff.). 1. The New Covenant was given exclusively for ethnic Israel and will therefore be fulfilled only in her at the end of the age when Israel as a nation is saved. The Church has no part in the blessings of this covenant. 2. There are two New Covenants, one for ethnic Israel and one for the Church. 3. There is only one New Covenant, for Israel, in which the Church shares spiritually. I.e., those blessings in the covenant which pertain to salvation are equally enjoyed by the Church, but those that pertain to earthly prominence in the land belong solely to Israel. 4. There is only one New Covenant. The Church, being the historical continuation of the believing remnant within Israel, is the recipient of its blessings. Thus, both believing Jews and believing Gentiles, the latter of whom have been graciously included in the covenants of promise (Eph. 2:12), together and equally enjoy the fulfillment of all aspects of the New Covenant. According to this view, there is a biblical expectation of a mass salvation among the Jewish people who will then be incorporated into the Church, the body of Christ. 5. There is only one New Covenant, of which the Church, which has replaced Israel in the purposes of God, is the recipient. This is commonly referred to as Replacement Theology. According to this view, there is no biblical expectation of a mass salvation among the Jewish people. 6. here are two covenants, one for the Jewish people and one for those (whether Jew or Gentile) who embrace Jesus as Messiah. The latter comprise the Church. The former are Jews who need not believe that Jesus is the Messiah but who relate savingly to God via Judaism.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy, Eggs Mexican 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Washed greens; deveined, stemmed
(turnip greens; collard greens,
Kale; or green chard leaves)
6 tb Unsalted butter; plus more
1 lg Yellow onion; finely chopped
4 Garlic cloves; finely chopped
1/2 c Dry white wine
3 c Milk
1 c Heavy cream
1 c Quick grits
2 c Grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 ts Thyme leaves
2 ts Chopped flat-leaf parsley
10 lb Bone in half ham
Coarse salt
Freshly-ground black pepper
2 lg Eggs; well beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

Stack 3 or 4 leaves of greens on top of each other, roll tightly, and cut
into thin strips. Repeat with remaining greens. In a large saute pan, heat
6 tablespoons butter over medium heat; add onion and garlic, and cook until
translucent, about 10 minutes. Add wine and greens, and partially cover.
Reduce the heat to simmer, and cook until greens are very tender, about 30
to 45 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and cool completely.
Wrap the greens in several layers of cheesecloth, and squeeze to remove all
moisture. Return to a bowl. While greens are cooking, combine milk and
cream in a saucepan, and cook over medium heat until simmering. Stir in the
grits, and cook over medium heat until thick, about 5 minutes, stirring
frequently to prevent the bottom from burning. Remove from heat, and stir
in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, thyme, and parsley. Remove from heat, and
spread mixture onto a baking sheet to cool. Transfer cooled grits to the
bowl with cooled greens, and combine well. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the bone from the ham or have your butcher do it for you. With a
sharp knife, remove enough meat to create a pocket large enough to stuff,
about 1 pound. Trim fat and sinew, dice the extra meat, and stir it into
the stuffing. Spoon the stuffing into the cavity, reserving what's left
over. Rub the outside of the ham with pepper, and tie at 1-inch intervals
with kitchen twine. Place a double layer of cheesecloth over the stuffing,
and tie it closed at the shank (narrow) end. Place the ham, stuffing-side
up, in a 7-quart ovenproof stockpot, so that the ham sits upright and the
stuffing will not leak out. Bake 12 minutes per pound, about 2 1/2 hours.
Remove ham from oven, and let cool slightly. Increase the temperature of
the oven to broil. Place ham on a baking sheet, and remove cheesecloth.
Broil until browned, about 15 minutes. Let rest 10 to
15    minutes before slicing. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a
small, shallow baking dish. In a bowl, combine reserved stuffing with eggs;
mix well. Spoon stuffing into baking pan, and sprinkle with remaining
Parmesan cheese. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8.
