God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In some respects, Jesus’ priesthood is vastly different for that of Aaron and his successors. He does not merely assist sinful human beings in securing forgiveness from God; He Himself forgives sins (Mt. 9:1-8). The Jewish high priest had to “offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people;” Jesus, the sinless One, addressed the sins of others exclusively (Heb. 5:3; 7:26-28; 4:14-16). Moreover, He saves His people from their sins, not by slaying goats, calves and lambs, but by sacrificing Himself and pouring out His own blood (Mt. 1:21; 20:28; 26:26-28).
Emmanuel. God with us. He who resided in Heaven, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, willingly descended into our world. He breathed our air, felt our pain, knew our sorrows, and died for our sins. He didn't come to frighten us, but to show us the way to warmth and safety.
STREUSEL
Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 20 to 25 minutes
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 15- by 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Cream
butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in mixing bowl. Stir in cinnamon and salt.
Add flour, a little at a time. Blend well. Press into pan to 1/4 -inch
thickness with wax paper.
2. Brush beaten egg white over dough. Combine streusel ingredients in food
processor. Process until butter is evenly blended. Sprinkle streusel over
dough. Bake 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack 15 minutes. Cut into 2- by 1 1/2
~inch bars while still warm.
Note: The test kitchen found that a mixture of ground spices such as
cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cardamom and cloves also works nicely in place
of the cinnamon, and for the holiday season, a sprinkling of colored sugar
before baking brightens up these cookies.
