God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
His birth was common. Men wouldn’t have had a common birth for such a King. But it was celebrated with hallelujahs by the heavenly host in the heavens above. His lodging was poor and men wouldn’t have put Him in a stable but it was attended to by celestial visitants. It was marked by a conflux of stellar bodies. He had not the magnificent equipage of other kings but He was attended by multitudes of patients seeking and obtaining healing of soul and body. He made the dumb that attended Him sing His praises and the lame leap for joy and the deaf to hear His wonders and the blind to see His glory. He had no guard of soldiers, no magnificent retinue of military men, but centurions took orders from Him...and so have millions across the earth. He didn’t control a vast empire of those who did all of His bidding, but the waves and the winds and the storms which no early power can control obeyed Him. And death and the grave durst not refuse to deliver up their prey when He demanded it. He didn’t walk on velvet tapestry but when He walked on the sea the water held Him up. All parts of the creation except sinful men honored Him as their creator. He had no vast incomprehensible treasure of wealth but when He needed His money to pay His taxes, a fish yielded it up out of its mouth. He had no barns and He had no corn fields, but when He wanted to fill the hearts and the stomachs of a multitude, He created the food right out of His own hands. And no monarch in history ever entertained that way. He didn’t have the fantastic group of people sorrowing like other people have on occasions that demanded sorrow on His behalf, but the frame of nature itself solemnized the death of its author, heaven and earth were mourners, the sun was clad in black and if the inhabitants of the earth were unmoved, the earth itself trembled under the awful load. And there were few to pay the Jewish custom of rending their garments at His death, so the rocks took their place and rent their own bowels. He didn't have a grave of His own, but other men’s graves open to Him. He came not as the subject of death, but as the conqueror and invader of its territory and He rose victorious.
Sin is any failure to conform to the moral law of God in act, attitude, or nature… Sin includes not only individual acts such as stealing or lying or committing murder, but also attitudes that are contrary to the attitudes God requires of us.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl.
Add 3 tablespoons of hot water and set the bowl over a pan of hot but not
simmering water. Stir with a whisk until the chocolate is melted and
smooth. Remove the bowl from the water and let the chocolate cool to room
temperature.
Coarsely chop the pecan pieces in a food processor. Remove 1/2 cup of the
pecans and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar to the remaining nuts
and grind to a fine powder. Combine the finely ground pecans, bread crumbs
and cinnamon in a bowl; mix well and set the mixture aside.
In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter with half the remaining sugar until
soft and light. Beat in the cooled chocolate and then the bourbon. Add the
egg yolks, one at a time, beating until smooth. Stir in pecan bread crumb
mixture.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until they form very
soft peaks. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar in a slow stream and
continue beating until the egg whites hold soft peaks. Stir 1/4 of the
beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter, then gently fold in remaining
egg whites.
Pour the batter into a buttered 1 1/2 quart baking dish or 8 inch square
baking pan. Smooth the top. Scatter the reserved chopped pecans evenly
over the surface of the batter. Place the baking dish in a larger pan and
pour hot tap water into the larger pan to reach halfway up the sides of the
baking dish. Bake the pudding in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35
minutes, until the pudding puffs and feels slightly firm when pressed with
the palm of the hand; do not overbake.
To serve, spoon the warm chocolate pecan pudding onto dessert plates. Ladle
2 or 3 tablespoons of Bourbon Sauce over. Pass remaaining sauce separately.
Bourbon Sauce: In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the milk and
sugar. Bring to a boil over moderate heat.
Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl until liquified. When the milk boils,
gradually whisk 1/3 of it into the yolks. Return the remaining milk to a
boil over low heat and whisk in the yolk mixture. Cook, whisking
constantly, until the sauce thickens, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes; do not let boil.
Immediately remove from the heat.
Whisk the sauce constantly for 1 minute to cool. Strain through a fine
sieve into a bowl and whisk for 30 seconds. Stir in the bourbon and the
vanilla. Serve warm.
