We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love.
Augustine

On one side, the fear of the Lord does indeed mean a terror of God (threat-fear). We are unclean people, and we appear before the Almighty God who is morally pure. We are rightly ashamed before Him, and punishment would be completely just… But at the other end…is a fear reserved exclusively for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. This fear of the Lord means reverent submission that leads to obedience, and it is interchangeable with “worship,” “rely on ,” “trust,” and “hope in.” Like terror, it includes a knowledge of our sinfulness and God’s moral purity, and it includes a clear-eyed knowledge of God’s justice and his anger against sin. But this worship-fear also knows God’s great forgiveness, mercy, and love. It knows that because God’s eternal plan, Jesus humbled himself by dying on a cross to redeem his enemies from slavery and death. It knows that, in our relationship with God, he always says “I love you” first. This knowledge draws us closer to God rather than causing us to flee. It causes us to submit gladly to His lordship and delight in obedience. This kind of robust fear is the pinnacle of our response to God.

Dairy Swiss May 1993 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 c Spicy Tomato Sauce
3 tb Unsalted butter
1/4 c All-purpose flour
1 c Milk
4 lg Squa or 8 small rectangular sheets of; (no-boil) lasagne
; instant
2 c Flaked cooked cod; (such as from Roast
; Cod with Potatoes,
; Onions and Olives
1 1/2 c Swiss Chard with Roasted Pepper
1/3 c Chopped fresh basil leaves plus basil
; sprigs for garnish
Freshly grated Parmesan as an
; accompaniment

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spread the tomato sauce in the bottoms of 4
individual gratin dishes or in the bottom of a shallow baking dish
just large enough to hold 8 cannelloni in one layer. In a saucepan
melt the butter over moderately low heat, whisk in the flour, and
cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream,
whisking, simmer the bechamel, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes,
and season it with salt and pepper. Transfer the bechamel to a bowl
and let it cool, covered. In a pan of hot water let the sheets of
lasagne soak for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are softened. To the
bechamel add the cod, the Swiss chard with roasted pepper, the
chopped basil, and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture
well.
If using the square lasagne sheets halve each sheet to form 2
rectangles. Working with 1 rectangle at a time, spread about 1/3 cup
of the cod mixture lengthwise down the center of each sheet,
beginning with a long side roll up the sheet to enclose the filling,
leaving both ends open, and arrange 2 cannelloni, seam sides down, in
each dish, spooning some of the tomato sauce over them. Bake the
cannelloni, covered with foil, in the middle of the oven for 230 to
25 minutes, or until they are heated through, garnish them with the
basil sprigs, and serve them with the Parmesan.
Serves 4.
