Fresh Turnip, Mustard, Or Collard Greens

The modern view of the death of Jesus is that He died for our sins out of sympathy. The New Testament view is that He bore our sin not by sympathy, but by identification. He was made to be sin. Our sins are removed because of the death of Jesus, and the explanation of His death is His obedience to His Father, not His sympathy with us. We are acceptable with God not because we have obeyed, or because we have promised to give up things, but because of the death of Christ, and in no other way. We say that Jesus Christ came to reveal the Fatherhood of God, the lovingkindness of God; the New Testament says He came to bear away the sin of the world.

INGREDIENTS

1		Greens, about 2 lbs
		Salt
1/4	lb	Salt pork, diced
1/2	c	Water, salted boiling
		Vinegar or pepper sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Check leaves of greens carefully; remove pulpy stems and discolored
spots on leaves. Wash thoroughly in several changes of warm water;  add
a little salt to the last rinse. Put greens in colander to drain.  Cook
salt pork, covered, about 10 minutes in 1/2 cup boiling salted  water.
Add greens, a few at a time; cover and cook slowly until  greens are
tender. Do not overcook.  Serve with vinegar.  NOTE: An alternate
method is to wash greens carefully and put them  into a large cooker
with only the water that clings to leaves. Add  salt and bacon
drippings after the greens have cooked tender. SOURCE:  Southern Living
