We Love God!

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

People without Christ need to realize they will face three stages of God’s judgment. Most dreaded is the final and eternal stage of judgement when they are sentenced to hell after the Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11-15). Then there is the “intermediate stage” between an unbeliever’s death and the final sentencing. This is often called Hades, a holding tank with no opportunity to escape (Lk. 16: 26) that involves suffering (Lk. 16:23-24; 2 Pet. 2:9b). Yet right now, before death, they are also presently under the judgement of God. John 3:18, “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

If we have deep-seated fears that God does not really love us (as many Christians have), we can only go so far in growing nearer to God. There will come a point at which we will fear to trust Him any further because we cannot be sure of His love. When we look at ourselves, or our own faith, or our circumstances we will never be free from those lurking fears. Satan will see to that. But when we lift up our eyes and look on the cross we find the final persuasion that God is gracious towards us. How can He be against us when all His wrath against us fell upon Christ? How can He fail to care for us when He gave the only Son He had for our sake? How can we doubt Him when He has given us evidence of His love sufficient to banish all doubts?

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  In a small saucepan, warm the milk
and 2 teaspoons of the butter over  medium-low heat. With an electric
mixer fitted with a wire whip, beat  the eggs and 1 cup of the sugar on
medium-high speed in a large  mixing bowl until the mixture is pale
yellow and thick and has  tripled in volume, about 8 minutes. With the
mixer on low, beat in  the warm milk mixture. Sift the flour, baking
powder, cocoa, and salt  together in a medium-size mixing bowl. Fold
into the egg mixture and  blend thoroughly until smooth. Add the
vanilla and mix gently. Grease  a 17 by 12-inch baking pan (or
jelly-roll pan) with 2 tablespoons  butter. Sprinkle with the remaining
2 tablespoons sugar. Pour the  cake batter into the prepared pan,
spreading it evenly. Bake until  the cake springs back when touched,
about 15 minutes. Cool for about  2 minutes, then gently flip it out
onto a large wire rack or a large  piece of parchment paper. Let cool
completely.  In an electric mixer, fitted with a wire whip, combine 1
cup of the  melted chocolate and cream. Whisk on medium speed until
firm peaks  form. Remove, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Place a 1 1/2  quart mixing bowl upside down on the sponge cake. Using
a knife, cut  out a circle of the cake the size of the bowl, discarding
the  trimmings. Line the mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Spoon and
spread  the bottom and sides of the mixing bowl evenly, about 3 inches
deep,  with the chocolate ice cream. Place the bowl in the freezer and
freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Spread the Peppermint ice cream
evenly over the bottom and sides, about 3 inches deep. Spoon the
chocolate mousse evenly in the center of the ice cream. Place the
circle of sponge cake on top of the filled bowl. Cover the bowl
tightly with plastic wrap, place in the freezer, and freeze until
firm, about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer and remove the plastic
wrap. Unmold onto a wire rack. Pour the remaining 2 cups of melted
chocolate over the entire mold, covering completely. Place back in  the
freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to  the
touch. To serve, using a hot knife, slice the bomb into 12 equal
servings. Place each slice on a serving plate and garnish with a
drizzle of the chocolate sauce and a sprig of mint.  Yield: 12 servings
