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

No matter how terrible they may be, the hardships and tragedies of human living that often befall Christians are not the crosses of which Jesus speaks. Such things as a cruel spouse, a rebellious child, a debilitating or terminal illness, the loss of a job, or destruction of a house by a tornado or flood, may strongly test a believer’s faith; but those are not crosses. The cross of a believer is not a mystical or spiritual identification with the cross of Christ or some “crucified life” idea. Such concepts are foreign to the context, and the cross of Christ was yet future when Jesus spoke here. The disciples would hear cross and think only of physical death. A cross is the willing sacrifice of everything one has, including life, for the sake of Christ. It is something that, like the Lord Himself, a believer must take on himself when it is thrust upon him by the unbelieving world because of his relationship to God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Take 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil 15 inches square and start

your Dutch oven -- in our case, a foil saucer approximately 5 inches
in diamerter.  When the edge is rolled to about 1 inch high, stop and
flatten it. Then, depress the center to hold the smoke ingredients.  In
the depression of the aluminum foil saucer first sprinkle the  rice,
then the sugar, cloves and the contents of the tea bags. The  order of
ingredients is very important. Place the foil dish in Dutch  oven,
cover tightly and cook over high heat until ingredients in the  foil
start smoking ~- about 5 minutes.  Brush a steamer platform with the
olive oil.  Place the chicken on  platform, skinned side up.  Put into
Dutch oven over the smoke  ingredients, cover and continue smoking over
high heat until done --  about 11 minutes.  Graham Kerrs Mini-Max
