God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Are you being persecuted for Jesus Christ? In that context, 1 Peter 4:5 says, “But they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.” All judgment has been given to the Son (John 5:22) and according to this verse, He is “ready” to bring that judgment. There will be accountability. So, what should we do? We too need to be “ready.” A chapter earlier, Peter told us to be “ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Pet. 3:15).

INSTRUCTIONS
* Prepare syrup first: bring to boil 2-1/2 cups sugar and water; add lemon
juice. Simmer until it is a pale yellow color. Syrup should be thick and
cold when poured over hot Baklava.
Mix nuts, 1/4 cup sugar, and spices; set aside. Butter 9" x 13" cake pan
thoroughly. Keep filo pastry covered with a damp tea towel while working
with individual sheets. Layer sheets in baking pan, one at a time, brushing
each layer with melted butter. After layering six or so, begin alternating
layers of filo pastry with nut mixture. Brush one layer with butter and
sprinkle the next with 1/2 cup nut mixture. Continue to alternate buttered
layers and nut-covered layers until all but ten of the sheets have been
used. Layer the last ten sheets as you did the bottom six, brushing each
with butter. Bake at 325 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from oven and let
cool for five minutes. Score pastry into diamond shapes about 1-1/2" X 2".
Pour cold syrup over hot pastry. Allow to cool to room temperature before
cutting and removing from pan.
