God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Forbearance doesn't mean we tuck sin away for another time. It is not a variation of patience nor is it some Christianized, external “niceness” where you pretend nothing bothers you. It's not even a kind of ignoring the sin, in the sense of refusing to acknowledge it. In forbearance we know (or at least suspect) we have been sinned against, but we actually make a choice to overlook the offense and wipe the slate clean, extending a heart attitude of forgiveness, and treating the (apparent) sin as if it never happened. Proverbs 19:11 tells us it is a “glory to overlook an offense.” Forbearance is preemptive forgiveness, freely and genuinely bestowed.
In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and
salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork,
stir in eggs and cream until just moistened. On a lightly floured surface,
knead gently 8 to 10 times.
Divide dough in half; pat each to a 6-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
Place one circle on an ungreased baking sheet; spread filling evenly on
circle to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with second circle; gently press
edges to seal.
Brush top with egg white. Combine 2 teaspoons granulated sugar and 1/4
teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle over top. Cutting through top layer only, cut
into 8 wedges. Bake at 400° F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cut into 8 scones; serve warm.
Note: 1/2 cup of toasted chopped walnuts can be substituted for currants.
