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).

The mentality behind the fruit of the Spirit is the mentality of faith depending upon grace. People who bear the fruit of the Spirit know they are worthy only of condemnation. They know that the only pay they can earn is the wrath of God. Therefore, they have turned away from self-reliance and look only to mercy in Christ who “loved us and gave Himself for us” (Gal. 2:20). They do not expect anyone to be their debtor because of their worth. Any satisfaction will be a free gift of grace. They bank on the mercy of God and entrust themselves to his Spirit for help. And out of that mentality of faith depending on grace grows not “works” but “fruit”: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness...

Rabbit A La Danielle

INGREDIENTS

1		Large domestic rabbit
		Salt
3		1/2 pints of whipping cream
		Pepper
12		R 1996

INSTRUCTIONS

Bake in an open casserole at 325F. for two to three hours.  The oval
French glazed earthenware casserole dishes are the best.  A large New
Zealand Red rabbit or one that size is the best.  This will fill a
large casserole dish.  The French remove the eyes, but leave the head
attached. Sounds gross to American tastes, but the head has some of
the tenderest meat on the rabbit and surprisingly a large amount.
French children (mine as well) fight over who gets the head.  Serve
with roasted carrots and potatoes. Danielle says that since she is  not
a good cook and hates to cook, this dish is easy to prepare and  serve.
It still has that marvelous French flair that is incomparable.  Oh yes,
serve also with crusty baguettes of French bread and a very  dry
Chardonnay.  Come to think of it, a good dry Cabernet Sauvignon  or
Pinot Noir wouldn't be bad either. Danielle Caucanas Reims, France
