Only the Christian gospel presents….a way in which justice and mercy kiss each other… First, Christianity confirms the fact that justice must be satisfied. Sin must be condemned according to its demerit. This means eternal doom. The sinner must be damned because God must be inexorably holy and just. His all-powerful Being must vindicate His all-holy Being. Christianity never compromises the ever-blessed purity and excellency of the divine nature. Second, Christianity alone finds a way to satisfy infinite justice and provide infinite mercy at the same time. What no other religion has dreamed of, Jesus Christ has accomplished. He underwent the infinite wrath of God against sin and lived to bestow His mercy on the damned sinners for whom He died. The infinite Son of God took upon Himself a human nature in which He underwent the full fury of the divine wrath. The omnipotent God satisfied His violated holiness by punishing sin completely in His blessed Son, who “became sin” for His people. The justice of God was vindicated in full in the substitute, His own Son, our Saviour dear. He survived that awful vengeance and rose victor over the grave by the power of His own divinity. Now He offers to every sin-sick and “pleasure” – burdened soul an everlasting mercy. Perfect mercy and perfect justice in the gospel of the crucified.

INSTRUCTIONS

ORANGE-CHIPOTLE SAUCE
*Plumped in 1/2 cup dry white wine.
Combine all ingredients for filling. Place 1 ounce of filling on a wonton
wrapper, brush the outside edge with water and place a second wrapper on
top pressing the edges together to seal completely. Place on a sheet of
waxed paper dusted with cornstarch and proceed to fill the rest. Preheat
oil to 360 degrees and deep fry the wontons for 3 to 4 minutes or until
golden brown and puffed. Serve immediately on warm plates with
Orange-Chipotle Sauce and cilantro sprigs.
Orange-Chipotle Sauce: In a saucepan over moderate heat reduce fresh juice
by half and cool. Place remaining ingredients except the oil in a blender.
Blend well and with motor running, slowly add the oil to form a smooth
sauce.
Yield: 40 wontons, serving 8 - 10 and approximately 3/4 cup sauce
Store covered and refrigerated for up to a week.
Recommended Wine: The sauce is pretty spicy so a Gewurztraminer or Riesling
with some residual sugar and good acid is the choice here.

NOTES : China meets California meets Mexico in this fun dish. The wontons
and sauce can be made ahead and frozen if desired. To freeze the wontons,
place uncovered in a single layer on a parchment or waxed paper lined
baking sheet and freeze until hard. Wontons can then be carefully placed in
sealed freezer bags. Defrost in refrigerator before using.
