God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Many a good and righteous cause on earth has been lost by the death of its advocate. But our Advocate, as He is without beginning of days, is without end of years. As the tinkling bells of the High Priest’s vestments were heard by the crowd in the outer court, while he himself was ministering within the veil – the sound conveying to them the assurance that he was still engaged in the solemn act of intercession – so the ear of faith can still catch up the music of these sacred chimes – these silver bells in heaven – “Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!”
A sinner does not “decide” for Christ; the sinner “flies” to Christ in utter helplessness and despair saying – Foul, I to the fountain fly, Wash me, Saviour, or I die. No man truly comes to Christ unless he flies to Him as his only refuge and hope, his only way of escape from the accusations of conscience and the condemnation of God's holy law. Nothing else is satisfactory. If a man says that having thought about the matter and having considered all sides he has on the whole decided for Christ, and if he has done so without any emotion or feeling, I cannot regard him as a man who has been regenerated. The convicted sinner no more “decides” for Christ than the poor drowning man “decides” to take hold of that rope that is thrown to him and suddenly provides him with the only means of escape. The term is entirely inappropriate.
Optional: whole almonds or halved strawberries for garnish

This is the richest chocolate fudge dessert we've ever tasted. It is a
passover recipe and you will need to locate matzo CAKE meal, but it's worth
it!
TO PREPARE TORTE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottoms of two 9-inch
round baking pans [or one 9x13 casserole] with parchment paper; set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add 1-1/2 cups sugar and
cocoa; stir until well-blended. Remove from heat; cool to room
temperature.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually
add butter-cocoa mixture, beating until well-blended. Stir in the water and
vanilla.
In a small bowl, stir together ground almonds and matzo cake meal; stir
about half into chocolate batter.
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy; gradually add remaining
1/3 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold remaining almond
mixture into beaten whites. Gradaully add egg white mixture to chocolate
batter, folding gently until well-blended.
Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick
inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; cake will settle
slightly. Transfer cake from pans to wire racks; cool completely. [If
using 9x13 pan, cut cake into two equal squares when cool.]
Place one cake layer on serving plate. heat preserves, strain. Spread
melted preserves over top of layer. Top with remaining layer.
CHOCOLATE CREAM FROSTING: In a medium bowl, stir together sugar and
unsweetened cocoa. Add whipping cream and vanilla; beat until stiff.
Spread over top and sides of torte.
Garnish if desired. Refrigerate until serving time. Cover and refrigerate
any leftover torte.
