We Love God!

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

If the death of Christ on the cross is the true meaning of the Incarnation, then there is no gospel without the cross. Christmas by itself is no gospel. The life of Christ is no gospel. Even the resurrection, important as it is in the total scheme of things, is no gospel by itself. For the good news is not just that God became man, nor that God has spoken to reveal a proper way of life for us, or even that death, the great enemy, is conquered. Rather, the good news is that sin has been dealt with (of which the resurrection is a proof); that Jesus has suffered its penalty for us as our representative, so that we might never have to suffer it; and that therefore all who believe in Him can look forward to heaven.
James Montgomery Boice

Why do we fast as disciples of Jesus? Because our souls feast on the glory of God. Fasting is an external expression of an internal reality. When we fast for a meal or a day or a week, we remind ourselves that more than our stomachs long for the pleasure of food, our souls long for the presence of God. We are satisfied in Him and by Him in a way that nothing in this world can compare to - not even the basic daily necessity of food. Fasting makes sense as a discipline in the Christian life only if it is connected with desire for Christ. When we fast, we say, “More than we want our hunger to cease, we want your Kingdom to come!”

INGREDIENTS

2 md Aubergines
2 Garlic Cloves, peeled
2 tb Tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tb Parsley, Finely Chopped
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to gas mark 5/375F/190C. Prick the skins of the aubergines
with a carving fork and bake in the oven for one hour, or until flesh is
soft. Remove and allow to cool so you can handle them without burning your
hands. Cut in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork.
You may prefer to use a food processor, but i like the rough finish
achieved with a fork.
Crush the garlic cloves with a hard blow from your hand on the back of a
large sharp knife and then chop the pulp finely. Add this, along with the
tahini, lemon juice and parsley, to the aubergine. Stir everything
thoroughly, and add enough olive oil to give a rich thick consistency.
Season with salt and pepper and serve with warm slices of pitta bread or
hot toast.
