This, then, is how Jesus made atonement – how He paid it all. The punishment which was due to us He voluntarily received. The death which was the wages of our sin He underwent. The stripes with which we deserved to be beaten fell upon His willing back. The chastisement which was owing us was borne by Him. The price we would have paid by endless suffering He paid by an infinite sacrifice. It should have been I who cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” It should have been He who said: “I am persuaded that nothing shall separate me from the love of God.” Because Jesus paid it all, it was He who was forsaken and we who never shall be. Because He drank the full cup of divine wrath, we shall never taste it. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.”

John Gerstner

INSTRUCTIONS

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, egg white and
salt. Whisk in matzo meal, oil and 3 T cold water.
Cover and chill the mixture at least 1 hour or
overnight.  In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a
boil.  Add parsnips, carrots and onions, reduce the
heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. Gently roll
the chilled matzo dough by level teaspoonfuls into
balls, dropping them into the simmering broth as you
work.  Cook the matzo balls, covered, for 15 minutes.
Do not lift the lid; the broth must simmer rapidly
to allow the matzo balls to expand properly.  Uncover
the pot, add broccoli and mushrooms and simmer until
the broccoli is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle
into bowls, sprinkle with dill or parsley and serve.

A Message from our Provider:

“The thankful heart sees the best part of every situation. It sees problems and weaknesses as opportunities, struggles as refining tools, and sinners as saints in progress. #Francis Frangipane”

We are not encouraged to forsake our sin by having our senses amused or our preferences coddled. The Gospel is inherently and irreducibly confrontational. It cuts against our perceived righteousness and self-sufficiency, demanding that we forsake cherished sin and trust in someone else to justify us. Entertainment is therefore a problematic medium for communicating the Gospel, because it nearly always obscures the most difficult aspects of it – the cost of repentance, the cross of discipleship, the narrowness of the Way. Some will disagree, arguing that drama can give unbelievers a helpful visual image of the Gospel. But we have already been given such visual images. They are the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and the transformed lives of our Christian brothers and sisters (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).
