INSTRUCTIONS

This goes with the Carnitas recipe I sent earlier today. I also sent
the Chile Verde sauce last week goes with this too. If you missed
either recipe let me know and I will re-post for ya.  Preheat the oven
to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. To  prepare the
filling, mix the carnitas with the cream cheese and green  onions until
combined  Heat about 1/2 inch of the oil in a small skillet until the
oil  ripples With tongs, dunk a tortilla in the oil just long enough
for  it to go limp, a matter of seconds. Don't let the tortilla get
crisp.  Repeat with the remaining tortillas and drain them.  With
tongs, dip a tortilla into the Verde sauce to lightly coat it.  Lay the
tortilla on a plate, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of filling  on top
and roll it up snug. Transfer the enchilada to the baking  dish. Repeat
with the remaining tortillas and filling. Reserve the  remaining Verde
sauce and keep it warm. Top the enchiladas with the  cheese. Bake for
20 mins. until the enchilada are heated through and  bubbly. Spoon the
reserved sauce over the enchiladas (Not baking the  Verde sauce into
the enchiladas allows it to stay greener and fresher  tasting)  Garnish
the enchiladas with tomatoes and green onions and chopped  fresh
Cilantro. Serve Hot  Posted to bbq-digest by Carol McKaskill

Our response to those in the world is not to envy or admire them in their rejection of God. It’s not even to condemn them by wagging a Pharisaic finger of self-righteousness. Jesus said He did not come the first time to condemn the world. He came that the world might be saved through Him. Likewise, our job is to have compassion on the world – no different than the way Jesus did when they tortured and mocked Him on the cross – to point people to forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Judgment is His job and as we just witnessed in Revelation 14, that’s exactly what He will do when He comes a second time.

Consider the irony. At a certain point in time the One who was creator, would actually become part of His creation. The sustainer of the world would be killed by the hands He was sustaining. The One who was loved by the Father, would be predetermined to be rejected by the Father. The One who knew no sin, would become sin. And the One predestined to die for sinners, would be predestined before there ever was sin. First Peter 1:20, says He “has appeared in these last times for the sake of you.” The One who needs nothing, would come to the aid of those who hated Him and purchase a people for Himself.
