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.

INSTRUCTIONS
in a coffee mill, finely grind the beans. In a coffee maker, brew the
espresso with the boiling water.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
Using a small knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into a medium
saucepan. Pour in the milk and scald over moderate heat, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, add chocolate and stir until melted. Cover and keep warm
over very low heat.
Divide the hot espresso into 4 cups. In a blender, begin whipping half of
the warm chocolate milk at low speed. Gradually increase the speed to high
and blend until frothy, about 1 minute. Pour the chocolate milk into the
cups of coffee, stir briefly and top each serving with some of the milk
froth. Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon sugar on top. Serve immediately with
a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Recipe by Yvonne Womack(Quick & Easy
