Between the two comings of Jesus, believers experience what is often called the tension between the already and the not yet. Jesus’ followers can look back and see that D-day, the decisive strike, has already occurred and now guarantees thorough defeat of the enemy. Nevertheless, the time after the first coming and before the second coming involves ongoing warfare with the spiritual forces of darkness and their terrestrial supporters. V-day has not yet arrived, and so the potential for setbacks and defeats still exists. All too often, God’s people succumb to temptation and score a victory for the enemies of God. Still, the decisive strike at the first coming of Jesus guarantees ultimate victory at the second, and Jesus’ followers fight the good fight with assurance that God who has begun a good work at the first coming of Jesus will bring it to completion at the second.

INSTRUCTIONS

RED CHILE SAUCE
This meatless egg dish is often served during Lent. SEPARATE eggs. BEAT egg
whites until stiff; set aside; beat egg yolks and add salt. Add yolks to
beaten egg whites and blend. DROP egg mixture by tablespoon into a hot,
oiled skillet. TURN when browned and cook opposite side; drain on absorbent
towel. PLACE tortas in a serving dish containing red chile sauce.
Basic Red Chile Sauce-MADE FROM RED CHILE POWDER When you don't have chile
pods, this is an excellent alternative. HEAT shortening in a stainless
steel saucepan over medium heat. STIR in flour to a paste consistency. COOK
for one minute. ADD red chile powder and cook for an additional minute. ADD
cold water gradually and stir constantly so that lumps do not form. ADD
seasonings. SIMMER over low heat for 15 minutes. USE in any recipe calling
for red chile sauce. MAKES about 1 quart.
