Name: Sauerkraut Ham Balls
Ingredients: 1 lb Ground fully cooked ham; 1 cn Sauerkraut, drained and chopped (16 oz.); 1/4 c Finely chopped onion; 3/4 c Plus 2 tb. dry bread crumbs, divided; 1 pk Cream cheese (3-oz.), softened; 2 tb Chopped fresh parsley; 1 tb Prepared mustard; 1/4 ts Garlic powder; 1/8 ts Pepper; 1/2 c All-purpose flour; 2 Eggs; 1/4 c Milk; Oil for deep-frying

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon, or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
