God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Shredded flesh against unforgiving wood, iron stakes pounded through bone and wracked nerves, joints wrenched out of socket by the sheer dead weight of the body, public humiliation before the eyes of family, friends, and the world – that was death on the cross, “the infamous stake” as the Romans called it, “the barren wood,” the maxima mala crux. Or as the Greeks spat it out, the stauros. No wonder no one talked about it. No wonder parents hid their children’s eyes from it. The stauros was a loathsome thing, and the one who died on it was loathsome too, a vile criminal whose only use was to hang there as a putrid, decaying warning to anyone else who might follow his example. That is how Jesus died.
The bedrock of missions is not the value of man. It is the spread of God’s glory. The biblical commitment to evangelism and missions is rooted in God’s passionate concern to make His name known.
Pour ingredients slowly, in order given, into a pony or pousse-cafe glass,
being careful not to let ingredients mix. This produces a multi-colored
"striped" effect of the liquors.For best results pour each ingredient
slowly over a teaspoon held bottom-side up over the glass. You can achieve
the same effect by inserting a glass stirring rod into the glass and then
slowly pouring each ingredient down the rod.
