God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The wicked enemy is so inveterately opposed to the Divine majesty that he would gladly, if it were possible, overturn the throne of God. As he utterly despairs of accomplishing that object, he throws out all his venom against the elect, employs every expedient, and exhausts all his devices to enslave those whom the power of God has torn from his grasp. He assaulted the first Adam in Paradise. He made an attempt on the second Adam in the wilderness, but his efforts were foiled. Disappointed in that expectation, he bends all his attack on those whom Christ has claimed to be his own.
For Jesus, there is no better way to illustrate God’s free unmerited grace than pointing to a child. For unlike many adults, children are generally entirely unpretentious about receiving a gift. Moreover, “little ones,” that is, the least, regardless of age, are a repeated focus in Jesus’ teaching on discipleship (Mt. 18:5; Lk. 9:48). Indeed, God’s kingdom must be entered in a childlike spirit, a lesson that was yet to be learned by Jesus’ followers.

Soak bulgur in warm water for 10 minutes; drain well. Place in a
medium-sized bowl. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and saute
onions for 5 to 6 minutes. Add onions and oil to the bulgur. Mix the tomato
paste with a drop of water to liquefy; add to the salad. Mix well. Add
remaining ingredients. Cover and let salad sit at room temperature for 4
hours before serving.
