We Love God!

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

Jesus came to a growing understanding of his Messianic calling by reading the Scriptures. He had to learn the Bible just as we must. Of course, He is the greatest theologian who has ever lived. His reading of the Bible would have been free from the problems that beset Christians who wrongly interpret passages and bring their own sinful dispositions to the text. Nevertheless, we must not imagine that Christ had all of the answers as a baby and merely waited to begin His ministry at the age of thirty without putting in hard yet delightful work on a daily basis in obedience to His Father’s will. As Christopher Wright notes, the Old Testament enabled Jesus to understand Himself. The answer to His self-identity came from the Bible, 'the Hebrew scriptures in which he found a rich tapestry of figures, historical persons, prophetic pictures and symbols of worship. And in this tapestry, where others saw only a fragmented collection of various figures and hopes, Jesus saw His own face. His Hebrew Bible provided the shape of His own identity.' …He had to study to know what to do. While He was never ignorant of what He needed to know at any stage of His life, He nevertheless was required to learn (Mark Jones).

1 3/4 c Cider vinegar
1/2 c Balsamic vinegar
2 c Sugar
1 Lemon; sliced thin
2 Sticks cinnamon; crushed

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the watermelon rind by cutting it into 1-inch squares and removing
the green skin and all but a small amount of the red meat. Place the
prepared watermelon in a large bowl and soak it overnight in brine made
from the salt and 2 quarts of water.
When ready to prepare, drain the watermelon, wash it with fresh water, and
drain it again. Place the rind in a large nonreactive saucepan with water
to cover, and simmer it until it is fork-tender. Place the remaining 2 cups
of water and the remaining ingredients in another large nonreactive pan,
bring them to a boil, and simmer them for 15 minutes or until you have a
thin syrup.
Drain the watermelon rind, add it to the syrup, and continue to simmer
until the rind becomes translucent. Place the watermelon rind pieces in hot
sterilized jars, cover them with the (unstrained) syrup, and seal them
according to proper canning procedures. The pickles will keep for several
months
