After the fall into sin, people remained image-bearers, but Adam’s disobedience brought fundamental changes to our ability to reflect God’s image. The direction of the human heart became oriented not toward God but toward self. In the garden, man began repeating a mantra that will persist until Jesus returns. Adam said, “I want.” “I want glory for myself rather than giving all glory to God.” “I love my own desire rather than loving God.” This came to be known as covetousness, lust, or idolatry.

INGREDIENTS

2	ts	Instant espresso powder
1 1/3	c	Cake flour, sifted
1/8	ts	Salt
1 3/4	c	Egg whites (about 12 large)
1	ts	Cream of tartar
1 3/4	c	Granulated sugar
1 1/2	ts	Vanilla extract
1 1/4	ts	Freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4	c	Chocolate chips, coarsely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Sift together the espresso powder, the
cake flour, and the salt. Set aside. 3. Put the egg whites in the bowl of
an electric mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on
medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar. Increase the speed to
high and slowly pour in the sugar. Continue whipping until the whites are
stiff but still shiny, about 3 minutes. 4. Reduce to low speed and add the
vanilla extract and lemon juice. Add the reserved flour mixture. When the
flour mixture is almost completely incorporated, remove the bowl from the
machine and fold in the chocolate chips. Make sure that the chocolate chips
are spread evenly throughout the batter and that the flour is evenly mixed
into the egg whites. Do not overmix. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared
pan and cut through it a few times with a dull knife to break up any air
pockets. 6. Bake until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 40
to 45 minutes. Invert the cake on a rack and let it cool upside down in the
pan. 7. Unmold the cake and slice it with a serrated knife.

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”

Redemption, reconciliation, adoption, healing, conquest – all these are ways the Bible talks about the victory Christ won on the cross. That does not, however, mean that penal substitution is just one image of the cross among many, and that we may pick and choose which one we want to emphasize. The Bible’s images of atonement don’t work like that; they are not an all-you-can-preach buffet. Actually, each of the images the Bible uses to describe the atonement finally finds its resolution in the fact that Jesus died in the place of His people. If you trace down the reality that lies behind the images, that is, if you ask enough how and why questions, what you find at the bottom of every single one of them is penal substitution.
