God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Jesus is not indifferent, unconcerned or unable to fulfill His promise. He knows after He returns there will be no opportunity for salvation. His so-called delay “as some count slowness” (2 Pet. 3:9) is a token of His mercy – giving people just a little more time to repent and trust Him. Jesus is being patient for His enemies to come to repentance. It was the same before His judgment with water. “When the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah” (1 Pet. 3:20). God is always looking to show mercy to the guilty (cf. Eze. 33:11).
This is the rock where we stand when the dark clouds gather and the floods lick at our feet: justification is by grace alone (not mixed with our merit), through faith alone (not mixed with our works) on the basis of Christ alone (not mingling his righteousness with ours), to the glory of God alone (not ours).
+----------------------*** MAPLE YOGURT SAUCE ***-------------------------
* A large, firm, tart apple is best. Use Ida Red or Northern Spy. A
Cortland can be used. However, if you use a McIntosh, you must shorten the
cooking time. Core apples and remove top inch of peel. Make a shallow out
through skin around centre of each apple to prevent skin from bursting.
Place apples upright in baking dish or pie plate. In a small bowl, combine
brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon into centres of each
apple. Add water to cover bottom of dish. Bake, uncovered in 375 F for 25
to 30 minutes for less firm apples and up to 50 minutes for firm varieties
or until apples are tender when pierced with a toothpick. Combine the
yogurt and maple syrup to make the sauce. Pour over the baked apples. From
