God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
At the all-important pivot of human history, the worst sin ever committed served to show the greatest glory of Christ and obtain the sin-conquering gift of God's grace. God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.
We secretly wish we could have a “vicarious” Christianity, and could be good by proxy, and have everything done for us. Anything that requires exertion and labor is entirely against the grain of our hearts. But the soul can have “no gains without pains”… To be a Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
FILLING & TOPPING
Cream together shortening & sugar. Add the rest of the ingredients in
order & mix till well combined. Combine sugar & cinnamon & mix. Grease &

knife to create the marbled effect. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon/sugar.
