Name: Quick and Easy Apricot Bread
Ingredients: 4 c Sifted flour; 2 tb Baking soda; 1 lb Dried apricots; cut in small pieces; 2 c Water; 2 c Sugar; 3/4 c Shortening; 1 ts Ground cinnamon; 1 ts Ground cloves; 1/2 ts Ground nutmeg; 1 ts Salt; 2 Eggs; beaten

Everyone is born a slave of sin. Jesus Christ said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin” (John 8:34). We cannot free ourselves from this oppressive master, for no one can live without sinning against God. But the sinless Jesus – not for His own sake, but for others – came from Heaven to deliver His people. Jesus allowed godless men to nail Him to a Roman cross, and three days later rose from the dead so that “we should no longer be slaves of sin” (Romans 6:6). And all those who trust in His work (and not their own) as the way to freedom will find emancipation from sin. “Therefore,” declared Jesus, “if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
