In His incarnation, the Son of God assumed a complete human nature – body, soul, mind, and will – into personal union with Himself. He did not assume a distinct human person, since He is already a divine person, but rather He gave personhood to the human nature that He assumed. As a human, Jesus experienced all the ordinary, non-sinful limitations of humanity. He grew and developed. He experienced hunger, thirst, weariness, and the full range of human emotions. His humanity was as integral to His saving work as His divinity. As the true human, the last Adam, He lived out obedience to God through our common humanity as our representative and substitute: through His life, death, and resurrection, He merits salvation for all who are united to Him by faith. As a human, He also serves as our example, providing a model for true human obedience (Luke Stamps).

INSTRUCTIONS

MARINADE
For the marinade, place the chicken legs in a single layer in a large,
nonmetallic dish. Add the thyme, garlic, and wine. Cover and
refrigerate overnight, turning the chicken several times with tongs.
To cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Melt the butter in a heavy,
large pot over medium heat and cook the bacon until brown, stirring
occasionally.
Add the onions and carrots and cook until golden. Add the flour and
stir for 3 minutes over medium-low heat. Pour in the chicken stock
with the tomato paste and stir, scraping up any browned bits on the
bottom of the pan. Add the marinade and bring to a boil. Add the
chicken legs, cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 30 minutes,
turning the chicken and stirring halfway. (This can be prepared
several hours ahead and set aside at cool room temperature.)
To serve, remove the chicken from the pot using tongs. Add the
mushrooms to the cooking liquid and boil until the sauce is thickened
and reduced by about half to approximately 1 1/4 cup, for about 20
minutes. Discard the herb sprigs. Season with salt and pepper. Remove
the vegetables with a slotted spoon and arrange on 4 plates. Turn the
legs in the sauce, heating gently if cold, and place in the center of
plates. Spoon the remaining sauce over the legs. Serve immediately.
Serves 4.

A Message from our Provider:

“Prayer: Don’t give God instructions — just report for duty!”

When you are forgotten or neglected or purposely set at naught, and you sting and hurt with the insult or the oversight, but your heart is happy, being counted worthy to suffer for Christ-that is dying to self. When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your advice disregarded, your opinions ridiculed and you refuse to let anger rise in your heart, or even defend yourself, but take all in patient loving silence-that is dying to self. When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder, any irregularity, or any annoyance, when you can stand face to face with waste, folly, extravagance, spiritual insensibility, and endure it as Jesus endured it-that is dying to self. When you are content with any food, any offering, any raiment, any climate, any society, any attitude, any interruption by the will of God-that is dying to self. When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, or to record your own good works, or itch after commendation, when you can truly love to be unknown-that is dying to self. When you see your brother prosper and have his needs met and can honestly rejoice with him in spirit and feel no envy nor question God, while your own needs are far greater and in desperate circumstances-that is dying to self. When you can receive correction and reproof from one of less stature than yourself, can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no rebellion or resentment rising up within your heart-that is dying to self.
