Name: Grilled Spiny Lobster with Scallion Salad and Romesco Sauce
Ingredients: 2 2 Pound spiny lobsters; (you may substitute Maine lobsters); 1 lg Ancho chili stemmed; seeded and soaked 1hour in warm water; 8 Hazelnuts; 8 Almonds; 6 Cloves garlic; 1 ts Dried chili flakes; 1 2 Inch Piece Bread With Crust Removed; torn into small 1/2inch pieces; 4 tb Red wine vinegar; 2 tb Parsley; chopped; 1/2 c Extra virgin olive oil; plus 4 tablespoons; 20 Scallions; cleaned and trimmed; 2 tb Currants; 1 tb Walnuts; finely chopped

We should settle it firmly in our minds, that our Savior is perfect man as well as perfect God, and perfect God as well as perfect man. If we once lose sight of this great foundation truth, we may run into fearful heresies. The name Emmanuel takes in the whole mystery. Jesus is "God with us." He had a nature like our own in all things, sin only excepted. But though Jesus was "with us" in human flesh and blood, He was at the same time very God.
