God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
God is able to work with or without human means. Though He most often uses them, He is not dependent upon them. Furthermore, He will frequently use some means altogether different from that which we would have expected. Sometimes our prayers for deliverance from some particular strait are accompanied by faith to the extent we can foresee some predictable means of deliverance. But God is not dependent upon means that we can foresee. In fact, it seems from experience that God delights to surprise us by His ways of deliverance to remind us that our trust must be in Him and Him alone.
See you here the foundational truth of Christianity, the rock on which our hopes are built. It is the only hope of a sinner, and the only true joy of the Christian – the great transaction, the great substitution, the great lifting of sin from the sinner to the sinner's Surety; the punishment of the Surety instead of the sinner, the pouring out of the vials of wrath, which were due to the transgressor, upon the head of his Substitute; the grandest transaction which ever took place on earth; the most wonderful sight that even hell ever beheld, and the most stupendous marvel that heaven itself ever executed – Jesus Christ, made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him! You scarcely need that I should explain the words when the sense is so plain. A spotless Savior stands in the room of guilty sinners. God lays upon the spotless Savior the sin of the guilty, so that He becomes, in the expressive language of the text, sin. Then He takes off from the innocent Savior His righteousness, and puts that to the account of the once-guilty sinners, so that the sinners become righteousness – righteousness of the highest and divinest source, the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast
them 10 minutes or until golden. Dot the almonds with 2 tablespoons of the
butter and replace in a turned off oven for another 10 minutes. In a
saucepan combine the sugar, remaining butter, 3 tablespoons water, the
cream of tartar and a pinch of salt and cook the mixture over moderate heat
until a candy thermometer reads 230 degrees. Carefully add the wine, cream,
coffee, vanilla and almonds. The mixture will boil up. Stir until combined
and smooth over low heat. Raise heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Off heat,
cool and store covered in refrigerator. Serve cold or warm.
