Apricot And Almond Tart

Is it a small thing in your eyes to be loved by God – to be the son, the spouse, the love, the delight of the King of glory? Christian, believe this, and think about it: you will be eternally embraced in the arms of the love which was from everlasting, and will extend to everlasting – of the love which brought the Son of God's love from heaven to earth, from earth to the cross, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to glory – that love which was weary, hungry, tempted, scorned, scourged, buffeted, spat upon, crucified, pierced – which fasted, prayed, taught, healed, wept, sweated, bled, died. That love will eternally embrace you.

INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-heat the oven to 180Ã¸C/350Ã¸F/gas mark 4. Put a baking tray in to
heat.  Put the flour and butter in a food processor and blitz until
mixture  resembles breadcrumbs. Mix the egg yolk with the water, pour
into the  food processor and blitz again until the mixture comes
together in a  ball.  Roll out the pastry thinly and use it to line a
20 x 4cm (8 x 1 1/2  inch) flan ring with a removable base.  Spread the
pastry base with 2 tbsp of the jam. Beat together the  butter and sugar
until it is light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs  one at a time.
Next, stir in the ground almonds and the almond  extract. Spread the
filling mixture on top of the pastry and put the  flan tin on top of
the baking tray in the oven for 30 minutes, or  until the filling is
risen and brown.  Meanwhile, thinly slice the apricots. As soon as the
filling has  cooked, remove the tart from the oven and arrange the
apricot slices  on top in a spiral design. Gently warm 2 tbsp of jam
with 2 tbsp of  water, then use it to brush the apricot slices to give
them a nice  glaze. Replace the tart in the oven for a further 5
minutes to cook  the apricots a little. Serve the tart warm.  Converted

The supreme purpose of God is to be realized through the salvation of men by grace alone. So fully does that supreme purpose now dominate the divine undertakings in the universe that everything in heaven and in the earth is contributing solely to the one end. To gain the realization of this supreme purpose, this age, which continues from the death of Christ to His coming again, was ushered in. These long centuries of human struggle were decreed for this one purpose. No vision which is less than this will prove sufficient. Men with blinded eyes do not see afar off. To such, the world is moving on by mere chance, or to the supposed consummation of some human glory in the earth. Eyes thus blinded see nothing of the glory of heaven; minds thus darkened understand nothing of the supreme purpose of God in the demonstration of the exceeding riches of His grace. But when this age is consummated, it will be clearly seen by all beings in heaven and in the earth that these centuries of the on-moving universe have been designed for no other reason than the realization of the supreme purpose of God in the salvation of men by grace alone.
