El Charro Chiles Rellenos (stuffed Green Chiles)

For in the beginning, sin separated man and woman from God and also from one another. This sin stood (and stands) at the root of ethnic pride and prejudice. When Christ went to the cross, He conquered sin, making the way for people to be free from its hold and restored to God. In so doing, He paved the way for all people to be reconciled to one another. Followers of Christ thus have one “Father” as one “family” in one “household,” with no “dividing wall of hostility” based upon ethnic diversity.

INSTRUCTIONS

* Combination Cheese - To come as close as possible to the taste of
the cheese of Mexico (which is not readily available in the United
States), we devised what I call "combination cheese". It is equal
parts shredded yellow cheddar, provolone and jack cheeses. Stuff each
chile with cheese, and set aside. Separate eggs and beat the whites
until stiff. Beat yolks and fold into whites, along with flour, salt
and pepper. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Dip stuffed
chiles, one at a time, into egg batter, then remove with a large
spoon. Carefully lower coated chiles into hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time.
Fry until golden brown on both sides. The chiles may be made ahead to
this point.  To serve immediately, arrange on platter or individual
plates and  pour warm Taco Sauce over each chile. Garnish with more
cheese and  run under broiler to melt cheese, if desired.  May be held
up to the point of topping with cheese and reheated in a  400-degree
oven about 10 minutes.  Note: Chicken or tuna may be used to stuff the
chiles, but cheese is  always a garnish.  Recipe By     : El Charro

In light of the profound reality of Jesus' full and uncompromised deity, His incarnation was the most profound possible humiliation. For Him to change in any way or to any degree, even temporarily by the divine decree of His Father, required descent. By definition, to forsake perfection requires taking on some form of imperfection. Yet without forsaking or in any way diminishing His perfect deity or His absolute holiness, in a way that is far beyond human comprehension, the Creator took on the form of the created. The Infinite became finite, the Sinless took sin upon Himself. The very heart of the gospel of redemption is that the Father “made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21). Although that infinitely marvelous and cardinal gospel truth is impossible to understand it is necessary to believe.
