The modern view of the death of Jesus is that He died for our sins out of sympathy. The New Testament view is that He bore our sin not by sympathy, but by identification. He was made to be sin. Our sins are removed because of the death of Jesus, and the explanation of His death is His obedience to His Father, not His sympathy with us. We are acceptable with God not because we have obeyed, or because we have promised to give up things, but because of the death of Christ, and in no other way. We say that Jesus Christ came to reveal the Fatherhood of God, the lovingkindness of God; the New Testament says He came to bear away the sin of the world.

INSTRUCTIONS

Found this recipe in a book called "Haunt Your House for Holloween" byCindy
Fuller. Thought it would make a great dinner for Holloween night.
Using a sharp knife, cut lid from pumpkin and scoop out pumpkin seeds and
excess membrane with a scraping tool. In a large skillet, combine ground
beef, chopped green pepper, chopped celery, and chopped onion and cook over
medium heat until ground beef is browned. Add next seven ingredients to
skillet. Mix well and place mixture into pumpkin cavity. Place lid on
pumpkin. Place pumpkin on a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees
for 1-1/2 hours. Just before serving, embellish pumpkin by placing (with
toothpicks) black olives to make eyes, a steamed carrot to make a nose, and
whole cloves to make a mouth. Us fresh parsley leaves to make hair around
like opening. To serve, scoop out part of the baked pumpkin, along with the
meat mixture, onto each plate.
Doesn't this sound like fun?
