Bread And Butter Pudding #1

The basic truth of the resurrection undergirds a number of other truths. 1. It gives evidence that the Word of God is totally true and reliable. Jesus precisely when and in the way He had predicted (see Mt. 12:40; 16:21; 17:9, 23). 2. The resurrection means that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, as He claimed to be, and that He has power over life and death. 3. The resurrection proves that salvation is complete, that on the cross Christ conquered sin, death, and hell and rose victorious. 4. The resurrection proves that the church has been established. Jesus had declared, 'I will build My church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it' (Mt. 16:8)... His resurrection proved that death itself could not prevent Christ from establishing His church. 5. The resurrection proves that judgment is coming. Jesus declared that the heavenly Father 'has given all judgment to the Son' (Jn. 5:22), and since the Son is now risen and alive, His judgment is certain. 6. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that heaven is waiting. Jesus promised, 'In My house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you' (Jn. 14:2). Because Christ is alive by the resurrection, believers have the assurance that He is now preparing a heavenly dwelling for them.

INSTRUCTIONS

From: markc@compnews.co.uk (Mark A. Cooper)  Serves 4 (or a greedy 2,
or even a really piggy 1)  Preheat the oven to 210 deg. C/Gas Mark 6.
Butter the bread, hack the  crusts off and cuts into strips (or
"soldiers") Place some of the  "soldiers" butter side down in a 1 litre
(2 pint) ovenproof glass  bowl - enough to cover the bottom. Sprinkle a
handful of the dried  fruit over the bread. Sprinkle a teaspoon of
sugar over the fruit.  Place more "soldiers" at right angles to the
last lot (my methods are  terrible!) , making sure you line the bowl.
Repeat stages 4 to 6  until you have run out of bread or filled the
bowl (the two things do  usually happen together, thank goodness) Beat
the two eggs in another  bowl with the milk. Pour the mixture over the
bread, fruit and sugar  and leave to stand for at least 30 minutes. Put
bowl in oven and cook  until the bread has turned golden brown and the
egg/milk mixture has  set (about 30 to 40 mins). Can be eaten hot or
cold (probably better  cold). A delicious variant, although somewhat
messy to prepare, is to  thickly spread lemon curd on the bread at
stage 2 before hacking the  crusts, etc.  If you do give this version a
go, you're better off  leaving it to go cold, preferably for at least a
day, because the  lemon taste becomes stronger with the passage of
time. Strange, but  true.  HZ225WU@UNIDUI.UNI-DUISBURG.DE  (MICAELA
