God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Our obedience to God's commands is the expression of trusting Christ. It is not our words but our deeds that stand the test of Christ's gaze. Love of Jesus is measured by obedience to what he commands (John 14:15 and 15:14). "He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me" (John 14:21). Not even miracles can substitute for doing what God commands (Matt. 7:22).
The New Testament exists because the final, complete, decisive, lasting act of divine salvation happened when Jesus, the Messiah, came into the world. He was the final Adam (Romans 5:12-21), and the final prophet like Moses (Acts 3:22; 7:37), and the final Israel (Matthew 4:1-11), and the final high priest (Hebrews 7:23-24), and the final Passover sacrifice (1 Corinthians 5:7), and the final manna from heaven (John 6:31-32), and the final suffering servant of Isaiah 53 (Mark 10:45), and the final Son of Man of Daniel 7 (Matthew 24:30). His blood was the blood of the promised final new covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 (Luke 22:20). He therefore was the final, decisive Yes and Amen to all God’s promises (2 Corinthians 1:20).
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with
non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar,
baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in
butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cranberries and
walnuts. Make a well in center and gradually stir in buttermilk to form a
ball. Knead lightly. Do not overwork; dough will be sticky. Divide dough in
half. On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll each portion into an 8-inch
round, about 1/2-inch thick. Cut each round into 8 wedges. Place scones on
prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with
remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Bake 14 to 18 minutes, or until golden
brown. Serve warm. Makes 16.
