Baked Ham With Yucatecan Flavors

Judgment seat translates bema , which, in its simplest definition, describes a place reached by steps, or a platform. The Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) uses it that way in Nehemiah 8:4. In Greek culture bema referred to the elevated platform on which victorious athletes received their crowns, much like the medal stand in the modern Olympic games. In the New Testament it was used on the judgment seats of Pilate (Matt. 27:19; John 19:13), Herod (Acts 12:21), and Festus (Acts 25:6, 10, 17). There was also a bema at Corinth, where unbelieving Jews unsuccessfully accused Paul before the Roman proconsul Gallio (Acts 18:12, 16, 17). A person was brought before a bema to have his or her deeds examined, in a judicial sense for indictment or exoneration, or for the purpose of recognizing and rewarding some achievement. Writing to the Romans of this same event, Paul described it as “the judgment seat [ bema ] of God” (Rom 14:10). God the Father is the ultimate Judge, but He has “given all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22).

INSTRUCTIONS

Roast a poblano or long green chile; peel, seed and slice. In a large
skillet filmed with oil, quickly fry an onion over mediium-high heat
until it begins to brown, then add the chile. Cut 1 to 1 1/3 pounds
ham steak into 4 portions and nestle them into the skilet. Mix
together 1 cup of orange juice with 3 tablespoons Adobo de Achiote,
taste for salt, drizzle over the ham, cover and cook over low heat  for
15 minutes. Uncover and simmer over medium-high until the liquid  is
reduced to about 1/4 cup (it'll start to look thik). Serve the ham
topped with the vegetables and a drizzle of the pan juices. For a
fruiter version, add 1 cup of chopped fresh pineapple along with the
orange juice.  Recipe by: Simple Ideas from my American Home  Posted to
