A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon, or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

INSTRUCTIONS

CREMA F
Make the Crema Fresca ahead of time:  mix cream and sour cream together.
Cover and let stand at room temp. until thickened, 8 hours or overnight.
Chill until ready to use.
Char the chili peppers over a gas flame until blackened on all sides.
Wrap them in a plastic bag and let stand for 10 minutes to steam. Peel and
core the chilies. Remove seeds, rinse and pat dry.
Preheat oven to 350 F.  Generously butter a 9" pie pan (preferably
porcelain or stoneware with 2" sides). Open up chili peppers and arrange
around sides of pan skin side down, point toward center of pan, extending
about 1/2" above rim.  Cover bottom of pan with chilies.
Finely grate cheese with onion and garlic in a processor using on/off
pulses, about 30 seconds.  Add eggs and salt. Process until smooth,
stopping to scrape down the sides, about 15 seconds. Mix in the Crema
Fresca (the Mexican equivalent of creme fraiche). Pour this filling over
the chilies.  Curl the edges of the chilies over the filling.
Bake until golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out
clean, 45 to 50 minutes.  Cover chili edges with foil to prevent burning,
if necessary. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve hot or at room
temperature. Serves 6 main course servings.
