Suffering as a Christian is a sign that God is powerfully at work in our lives. Longing for our final redemption, suffering for doing right, and being persecuted for our faith are all evidence that God has begun the good work of making us like Christ. Our suffering consequently becomes a great encouragement to our faith, since those who share in Christ's sufferings know that they will also share in his resurrection (Matt. 5:11-12; Rom. 8:17; Phil. 3:10).

INSTRUCTIONS

TO GARNISH
1. Heat the oil in a pan, and soften the garlic in it.

(300ml) of the stock. Simmer for 15 minutes, then blend, sieve, or put
through a food processor.
3. Add the remaining stock and reheat.
4. Garnish with strips of lemon rind if you like, and serve fairly soon, as
the soup will lose colour if left to stand.

NOTES : The butter beans add a nutty flavour to the soup, as well as
thickening it. Other green vegetables could be used instead of spinach, for
example, brussels sprouts are particularly good.
