God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Let us not fail to see in the manner of our Lord’s resurrection, a type and pledge of the resurrection of His believing people. The grave could not hold Him beyond the appointed time, and it shall not be able to hold them. A glorious angel was a witness of His rising, and glorious angels shall be the messengers who shall gather believers when they rise again. He rose with a renewed body, and yet a body, real, true, and material, and so also shall His people have a glorious body, and be like their Head. “When we see Him we shall be like Him” (1 Jn. 3:2.).
And who and what are ministers themselves? Frail men, fallible, sinning men, exposed to every snare, to temptation in every form; and from the very post of observation they occupy, the fairer mark for the fiery darts of the foe. They are no mean victims the great Adversary is seeking, when he would wound and cripple Christ’s ministers. One such victim is worth more to the kingdom of darkness than a score of common men; and on this very account, the temptations are probably more subtle and severe than those encountered by ordinary Christians. If this subtle Deceiver fails to destroy them, he artfully aims at neutralizing their influence by quenching the fervor of their piety, lulling them into negligence, and doing all in his power to render their work irksome. How perilous the condition of that minister then, whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people! It is not in his own closet and on his own knees alone that he finds security and comfort and ennobling, humbling and purifying thoughts and joys; but it is when his people also seek them in his behalf that he becomes a better and happier man and a more useful minister of the everlasting gospel.
[I think this recipe assumes raw crabmeat to start; refer to instructions
below about boiling crab meat and alter technique if using pre-cooked crab
meat, perhaps by just boiling some ginger and cloves in small amount of
water and adding a bit to flavor crab. -- cmt]
Put crab meat in boiling salted water along with ginger piece and cloves.
Cook about 15 minutes, until meat is tender enough to flake with a fork.
Drain, flake and set aside.
In a heavy pot, heat oil to a moderate temperature and add other
ingredients in the following sequence, stirring for a minute or so between
each: onions, ground ginger, tomatoes, tomato paste, green pepper, paprika,
cayenne, and dried shrimp. Reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes,
stirring constantly, until vegetables are cooked. Add crab meat and stir
another couple of minutes to heat it through. Then spoon the mixture into
clean crab shells or ramekins (small individual baking dishes).
Sprinkle bread crumbs on top of each crab and toast under an oven broiler,
being careful not to let the crumbs scorch. Garnish with egg and parsley.
