God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Bread magnifies Christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for His goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for God Himself. When we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food – the Bread of Life. And when we fast we say, “I love the Reality above the emblem.” In the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. Both magnify Christ. Both send the heart – grateful and yearning – to the Giver. Each has its appointed place and each has its danger. The danger of eating is that we fall in love with the gift; the danger of fasting is that we belittle the gift and glory in our will-power.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven at 325. Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and remove top
rack from oven. Before starting batter, wash 8 (1 pint) wide mouth canning
jars with lids in hot soapy water and let drain, dry, and cool to room
temperature. Generously prepare jars with margarine. In a mixing bowl,
combine margarine, sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and applesauce. In
another mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients just until
moistened. Spoon 1 level cupful of batter into each jar. Carefully wipe
rims clean, then place jars on baking sheet (or they'll tip over) in the
center of oven. Bake 40 minutes. Keep lids in hot water until they're used.
When cakes are done, remove jars which are HOT from oven one at a time. If
rims need cleaning, use moistened paper towel. Carefully put lids and rings
in place, then screw tops on tightly shut. Place jars on a wire rack; they
will seal as they cool.
