Surely Paul could have made the gospel more palatable – and less dangerous – by saying it was about something else. Something cleaner and less ridiculous than the cross. Something more glorious. Less disgusting. He didn’t do that, though. “I decided,” Paul said, “to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). In the face of the worst cultural prejudice imaginable, he fixed the entire gospel squarely and immovably on the fact that Jesus was tacked to a stauros and left to die. If he had been trying to find a surefire way to turn first-century people off from his “good news,” he couldn’t have done better than that! So why did he do it? It’s simple. He did it because he knew that leaving the cross out, or running past it with a glance, or making it peripheral to the gospel, or allowing anything else to displace it at the center of the gospel would make it, finally, no gospel at all.
* roasted, skin removed, meat cut into bite peel left on, core out, cut in
bite size chunks, mango, papaya, pineapple - cut into bite sized chunks--as
desired. Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Combine all the
dressing ingredients, taste and adjust the seasoning. Sometimes I crush
some fresh pineapple into the dressing. It makes for a nice addition.
Depending on how much meat you have on the chicken, you may need more or
less of the dressing. Use your judgement. Mix the chicken with the fruit
and nuts and toss with the dressing. I serve this on a huge platter lined
with---> red cabbage and green savoy cabbage leaves--it is gorgeous!
