If Christ be not the Substitute, He is nothing to the sinner. If He did not die as the Sin-bearer, He has died in vain. Let us not be deceived on this point, or misled by those who, when they announce Christ as the Deliverer, think they have preached the Gospel. If I throw a rope to a drowning man, I am a deliverer. But is Christ no more than that? If I cast myself into the sea, and risk my life to save another, I am a deliverer. But is Christ no more? Did He but risk His life? The very essence of Christ’s deliverance is the substitution of Himself for us, His life for ours. He did not come to risk His life; He came to die! He did not redeem us by a little loss, a little sacrifice, a little labor, a little suffering. “He redeemed us to God by his blood,” “the precious blood of Christ” (Rev 5:9; 1Pe 1:19). He gave all He had, even His life, for us.

INGREDIENTS

2	tb	Garlic, minced (fresh)
3	tb	Coriander, minced (fresh)
1/2	c	Peanut butter
5	oz	Soy sauce, light
5	tb	Sugar
		Rice wine (between 1/2 t to 1 T)
1	tb	Hot bean paste (up to 2 T)
1	tb	Sesame oil
1	lb	Lo mein noodles (other noodles will do, such as ramen noodles, or even spaghetti)

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook the lo mein according to directions.  Let cool. Mix the rest of the
ingredients.  Peanut butter doesn't mix very well, so for a few minutes
you'll think you've made a mistake. Don't worry, just keep stirring until
it's smooth. Add the sauce to the noodles.
Hot bean sauce also goes by the name Szechuan bean sauce etc. This is the
main "spicy" ingredient and should be handled with care. Vary this
ingredient to taste. This recipe is probably very good without it. It's
also quite good served when the noodles are still hot.
  NOTES:
*  Mildly spicy cold noodles -- I first had this at Brandy Ho's in
Chinatown, San Francisco. I forget where I found the recipe.
: Difficulty:  easy.
