Name: Franks and Baked Beans
Ingredients: 3 c (1-1/2 pounds) dried white beans; 1/2 c Molasses; 2 tb Dry mustard; 1/2 c Ketchup; 1/4 ts Ground cloves; 1/2 ts Ground black pepper; 2 Ham hocks; Water; 2 ts Salt or to taste; 20 Frankfurters

Between the two comings of Jesus, believers experience what is often called the tension between the already and the not yet. Jesus’ followers can look back and see that D-day, the decisive strike, has already occurred and now guarantees thorough defeat of the enemy. Nevertheless, the time after the first coming and before the second coming involves ongoing warfare with the spiritual forces of darkness and their terrestrial supporters. V-day has not yet arrived, and so the potential for setbacks and defeats still exists. All too often, God’s people succumb to temptation and score a victory for the enemies of God. Still, the decisive strike at the first coming of Jesus guarantees ultimate victory at the second, and Jesus’ followers fight the good fight with assurance that God who has begun a good work at the first coming of Jesus will bring it to completion at the second.
