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

See you here the foundational truth of Christianity, the rock on which our hopes are built. It is the only hope of a sinner, and the only true joy of the Christian – the great transaction, the great substitution, the great lifting of sin from the sinner to the sinner's Surety; the punishment of the Surety instead of the sinner, the pouring out of the vials of wrath, which were due to the transgressor, upon the head of his Substitute; the grandest transaction which ever took place on earth; the most wonderful sight that even hell ever beheld, and the most stupendous marvel that heaven itself ever executed – Jesus Christ, made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him! You scarcely need that I should explain the words when the sense is so plain. A spotless Savior stands in the room of guilty sinners. God lays upon the spotless Savior the sin of the guilty, so that He becomes, in the expressive language of the text, sin. Then He takes off from the innocent Savior His righteousness, and puts that to the account of the once-guilty sinners, so that the sinners become righteousness – righteousness of the highest and divinest source, the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

I couldn't resist this soup recipe using fava beans. It's from a
Sicilian cookbook. It's pretty adaptable, just leave out the oil.  Soak
dry beans for 1 hour in cold water; drain. Bring a large pot fo
lightly salted water to a boil. Add the bans, onions, carrot, celery,
and bay leaf. After water returns to a boil, reduce heat so that the
soup slowly simmers. check the beans after 45 minutes and if they
still feel hard, continue cook8ing until they are almost soft. Add  teh
fennel and dill, cabbage, beet leaves, and endive leaves. Add  salt and
pepper to taste. Simmer for 25 minutes Add the rice. cover  and cook
for 15 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on  top.
