God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Surely Paul could have made the gospel more palatable – and less dangerous – by saying it was about something else. Something cleaner and less ridiculous than the cross. Something more glorious. Less disgusting. He didn’t do that, though. “I decided,” Paul said, “to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). In the face of the worst cultural prejudice imaginable, he fixed the entire gospel squarely and immovably on the fact that Jesus was tacked to a stauros and left to die. If he had been trying to find a surefire way to turn first-century people off from his “good news,” he couldn’t have done better than that! So why did he do it? It’s simple. He did it because he knew that leaving the cross out, or running past it with a glance, or making it peripheral to the gospel, or allowing anything else to displace it at the center of the gospel would make it, finally, no gospel at all.

Sainsbury’s, Sainsbury8 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

875 g Large shell-on raw or cooked prawns; (1 3/4 lb)
1 tb Plain flour
2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
1 Dried red chilli
1/2 A lemon; juice of
4 tb Cognac
3 Heaped tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Pull the heads and legs off the prawns and cut lengthways along their
backs, about half-way through the flesh. If using raw prawns, remove the
brown or grey intestinal vein. Remove the shells and open the prawns out
like a butterfly. Wash the prawns carefully and pat dry with kitchen paper.
Season the flour with salt and use to coat the fleshy side of each prawn
lightly.
Put the oil and chilli in a frying-pan and heat until just hot. Lay the
prawns, floured-side down, in the oil and cook for about 1 minute for
cooked prawns and 2 minutes for raw prawns, then turn them over and cook
the other side for another minute. Squeeze over the lemon juice. Add the
Cognac and cook to boil off the alcohol. Remove the chilli, sprinkle the
prawns with the parsley and serve at once.
