Some are greatly troubled by the fact that grace is bestowed sovereignly, but what other basis is there for its distribution? In Romans 9:14 Paul asks the question: Can God be just when grace is given to some but not to others? He answers his own question by reminding the reader that justice can only condemn all men, for all have sinned. We dare not plead for justice with God, for justice can only be satisfied by our condemnation. Grace operates on a totally different basis. Grace does not give men what they deserve, but what God delights to give, in spite of their sin. God is only unjust if He withholds from men benefits which they rightfully deserve, but He is gracious in bestowing upon men salvation and blessings which they could never merit.

GARNISH
Heat butter in a large, heavy saucepan and gently sweat the eddoes, onion
and celery, covered, until softened but not colored. Add the stock, fasten
bouquet garni to pot and bring to a boil.  Cook, partially covered, until
eddoes are very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove bouquet garni.
Puree soup mixture in electric blender or food processor until smooth. Add
cream and seasonings; return to a boil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve in heated bowls garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
Enright says that the potato-like eddo, with its creamy interior, is
popular in the Caribbean and available most months in Canada.
