I…remind you what the true ministry of the Holy Spirit looks like. It’s not chaotic, flashy, and flamboyant (like a circus). It’s usually concealed and inconspicuous (the way fruit develops). We cannot be reminded too often that the Holy Spirit’s primary role is to exalt Christ, especially to elicit praise for Christ from His people. The Spirit does this in a uniquely personal way, first of all by reproving and convicting us - showing us our own sin, opening our eyes to what true righteousness is, and making us sense deeply our accountability to God, the rightful Judge of all (John 16:8–11). The Holy Spirit indwells believers, empowering us to serve and glorify Christ (Rom. 8:9). He leads us and gives us assurance of our salvation (vv. 14–16). He prays for us with groanings too deep for words (v. 26). He seals us, keeping us secure in Christ (2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 4:30). The Spirit’s daily presence is the source and the secret of our sanctification as He conforms us to the image of Christ.

INGREDIENTS

8		Thawed phyllo sheets
1/2	c	Extra-virgin olive oil
		OR melted butter
1	c	Chopped fresh herbs*
32	md	Asparagus spears; trimmed
32		WRAPS DAIRY-FREE

INSTRUCTIONS

This winning presentation is achieved by wrapping and baking a single
asparagus spear in paper-thin phyllo pastry that's been sprinkled with
herbs. A platter of these spears looks impressive on a buffet table,
but be warned, they will disappear quickly. The asparagus can be
wrapped up to 2 days before baking; keep covered in the refrigerator.
*such as chives, tarragon, lemon, verbena, dill, thyme
Work with 1 sheet of phyllo at a time; leave the others covered with
plastic and a damp towel. Brush one sheet with a little oil or butter,
sprinkle with 2 tablespoons herbs. Cut sheet vertically into 4 strips.
Place one asparagus spear diagonally across the corner of one strip,
then roll tightly like a cigar. Tuck in remaining dough at end.
Repeat with remaining phyllo and asparagus. Transfer wrapped
asparagus to platter, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange wrapped asparagus on a baking
sheet. Bake until pastry is golden and asparagus is tender, about 20
minutes. Serve warm.
