Jesus' gospel of forgiveness is not unrelated to the Bible's demand for holiness. Obedience is not a 'second step' added to our faith, so that 'accepting Jesus as Savior' must be supplemented by 'accepting Jesus as Lord.' We are not saved by grace and then sanctified (made holy) by our own works. Being a Christian is not a matter of adding our will to God's, our efforts to His. Rather…'putting away sin,' which is faith in action, is the means to persevering, which we do by depending on Jesus from beginning to end. In other words, repenting from the disobedience of disbelief, and the life of persevering faith that this brings about, which entails obeying God, are all one expression of 'looking to Jesus.' One cannot exist without the other… There is only one thing, not two, that we must do to be saved: trust God with the needs of our lives. This one thing in God's provision (now supremely manifested in Christ) will show itself, from beginning to end, in our many acts of repentance and obedience.

INSTRUCTIONS

* Garlic Puree - peel 8 whole heads of garlic by smashing the cloves with
the side of a wide knife; the peel will slip off easily then. Put the
peeled garlic in a blender with about 2 cups of water, and puree. Drain, if
necessary, and store in a tightly closed glass jar in the refrigerator.
At weddings, showers, saint's days celebrations and other special occasions
a hostess was sure to serve small tortillas or gorditas (which are fatter,
or mas gorda, than tortillas), one filled with beans, the other with
BARBACOA, along with shredded cappage, dressed with vinegar and oil, and a
salsa of some kind. Often nacatamales (cocktail size tamales), perhaps
filled with chicken, potato, raisins and olives, would make up part of the
plate offered. And no party was complete without at least one verse of "Las
Mananitas", the Mother's Day song, or bizcochuelos, buttery cookies shaped
like wreaths and with the unforgettable flavor of anise.
In an 8-quart stock pot, bring water to the boil, add meat, garlic puree,
spice pouch and salt. Bring to the boil again, skim scum, reduce heat and
simmer 1 hour, or until the meat is tender, frequently removing scum.
Remove meat and cool enough to handle. Discard spice pouch; reserve liquid.
With fingers, shred the meat finely.
In a large skillet, heat oil and saute green chile, onion, garlic puree,
vinegar, broth and jalapeno. Add bay leaf. Add shredded meat and the rest
of the ingredients. Simmer until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
Place seasoned meat in a large, shallow baking pan and bake at 300 degrees
for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
