Bake-and-take Peach Coffeecake

I gave Him a crown of thorns, He gave me a crown of righteousness. I gave Him a cross to carry, He gave me His yoke which is easy, His burden which is light. I gave Him nails through His hands, He gave me safely into His Father’s hands from which no power can pluck me. I gave Him a mock title, ‘This is the King of the Jews.’ He gave me a new name and made me a king and a priest to God. I gave Him no covering, stripping His clothes from Him, He gave me a garment of salvation. I gave Him mockery, casting the same in His teeth, He gave me Paradise. I gave Him vinegar to drink, He gave me Living Water. I crucified and slew Him on a tree, He gave me eternal life. It was my sinfulness that put Him there. It is His sinlessness that puts me here.

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix together flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, butter and milk with
hands to make a smooth dough. If dough does not stick together, add
1-3 tablespoons more milk. Put three quarters of the dough mixture
into a greased 12x18 inch edged cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. Roll
with rolling pin or press with hands to cover entire pan including
edges. Cover dough with peaches and sprinkle with a little sugar.  To
make topping, combine flour, butter and sugar into a crumb mixture.
Sprinkle over dough. Roll rest of dough into strips and cover peaches
with a lattice top. (I have put the crumbs on the peaches and also  the
strips over the peaches and then the crumbs. I also added a  little
almond flavoring to the peaches.) Bake at 350 for 40-50  minutes.

I doubt, indeed, whether we have any warrant for saying that a man can possibly be converted without being consecrated to God!... If he was not consecrated to God in the very day that he was converted and born again, I do not know what conversion means. Are not men in danger of undervaluing and underrating the immense blessedness of conversion? Are they not, when they urge on believers the “higher life” as a second conversion, underrating the length, and breadth, and depth, and height, of that great first chapter which Scripture calls the new birth, the new creation, the spiritual resurrection? I may be mistaken. But I have sometimes thought, while reading the strong language used by many about “consecration,” in the last few years, that those who use it must have had preciously a singularly low and inadequate view of “conversion,” if indeed they knew anything about conversion at all. In short, I have almost suspected that when they were consecrated, they were in reality converted for the first time.
