God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The exclusive claim of Christianity about Christ is not centered on our belief that Jesus was right about God. It is centered on our claim that God was fully present in Christ to reconcile the world to Himself (2 Cor. 5:18). It is the theological claim about Jesus (that He is God) that makes the spiritual claims of Jesus potent. Jesus' words are right because those words are God's words (Jn. 14:10b). Jesus’ “way” is not superior because it promotes a higher ethic or because it champions values that resonate with our spiritual sensitivities. Jesus' way is true because in Him we find God drawing us to Himself.
Christianity insists that everyone is a sinner through and through. Our minds, hearts, wills, and emotions are in rebellion against God. When it comes right down to it, the problem is not that there is only one way to God (through Christ). The real problem is that human beings will not follow God at all.
Batch basil pesto (I make my own, but you can buy it)
1
pt
Heavy cream
2
tb
Chipotles in Adobo (I buy this locally here in Austin) (up to 3)
Chopped mushrooms (optional)
Sun dried tomatoes (optional)
Fresh garlic to taste
Fresh ground pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the pesto in a sauce pan over low heat. Slowly add the cream, stirring
often. Add the chipotles whenever. Cook and stir until sauce thickens.
This is my own recipe. This is great over pasta and chicken! Hope it helps.
Hopefully I will be able to spend some time figuring out mastercook soon,
so I can really de-lurk!
