We Love God!

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

Someone once said we are all brought to the same level at the foot of the cross. The cross pours contempt on our pride and screams to us that reconciliation with God was entirely the work of Jesus. The cross screams to us that God justifies all His children with the same infinite love. The cross screams to us that we are all adopted into the same spiritual family in the same way with the same privileges. The cross screams to us that the sins of disunity such as discord, hatred, bitterness, strife, divisiveness, malice, jealousy, envy, disgust, indifference, unforgiveness have all been shattered by the cross and are therefore unacceptable amongst God’s redeemed. The cross teaches us that the grace that saves us results in grace that transforms us to live more like Jesus Christ, the “Prince of Peace” Himself. And the cross teaches us to join Paul in his never-ending refrain of boasting only in the cross (Gal. 6:14). And with our eyes on the cross, we strike a deathblow to our pride which fuels our divisions.

1 1/2	c	metric chick peas soaked

2	t	Salt
2		Cloves garlic
1/2	c	metric lemon juice
3/4	c	metric tahini sesame seed

INSTRUCTIONS

Place chick peas in saucepan with 3 times their amount of water and 1

tender. Drain off liquid and reserve. Reserve 1/2 cup chick peas,
puree the remainder. Crush garlic with remaining salt and add to  chick
peas. Slowly beat in tahini and lemon juice. Add reserved  liquid if
necessary to get right consistency (I also sometimes use  more lemon
juice) - you want a thick creamy consistency. Place in a  bowl,
sprinkle with whole chick peas, cayenne and parsley. (I usually  also
dribble a little olive oil on top).  PETERB@KRALIZEC.ZETA.ORG.AU
