1 (Short cut) leg of lamb

1 jar of mint jelly/sauce *

1 small can of cola

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 cup water

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place leg of lamb in roasting pan, ensuring lid will fit. In a bowl mix the mint jelly (all I had at the time; you could certainly use real mint sauce such as PC Mint Sauce, or make your own) with the cola and water and stir to combine. Add 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. Pour mixture over lamb leg. Put lid on roasting pan and place in oven. Roast for 4 hours. The meat will be tender and will fall off the bone. Reserve pan roasting juices to drizzle over the meat. Yum! Serve with starch and vegetables of your choice.

The Lord Jesus Christ-The Lamb of God

Whenever I have lamb I think about the truth that my Lord Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God. There are several verses that tell me this and some are so touching in what they reveal about Him. In Genesis 22, Abraham is called upon to offer his one and only son, Isaac, to God. Now, God never intended for human sacrifice as a means of appeasing Him. He is testing Abraham and his faith here. As Abraham and his son go on together towards the mountain God said He would show him, (Mount Moriah that would one day be the temple mount in Jerusalem,) Isaac notes the fire and the wood but wonders where the lamb is for the sacrifice. Abraham says “My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering,” Genesis 22:8 KJV. Isaiah 53 is a beautiful chapter foretelling how the Lord Jesus would die on the cross for the sin of the whole world. It was written over 2000 years before that event at Calvary, but God in His foreknowledge knew what He would do to provide salvation for all who seek a personal relationship with Him, Acts 2:23. Isaiah 53:7b, “He was led as a lamb to the slaughter…” When John the Baptist sees Jesus coming towards him to be baptized he cries out, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29. God did indeed provide Himself a lamb. He provided His one and only Son as the Lamb for sinners slain. John 3:16. Whoever believes Him will have eternal life. This is truth. Come to the Lamb today and receive forgiveness for your sin. Ask Him to be your personal Saviour and He will give you joy and peace in believing and the absolute assurance of eternity with Him. Life is short. Eternity is long. I am so thankful my life is held in His hands, now and forever.
