Here we commemorate the greatest and deepest demonstration of true love the world has ever known. For God looked down upon sorrowing, struggling, sinning humanity and was moved with compassion for the contrary, sheep-like creatures He had made. In spite of the tremendous personal cost it would entail to Himself to deliver them from their dilemma He chose deliberately to descend and live amongst them that He might deliver them. This meant laying aside His splendor, His position, His prerogatives as the perfect and faultless One. He knew He would be exposed to terrible privation, to ridicule, to false accusations, to rumor, gossip and malicious charges that branded Him as a glutton, drunkard, friend of sinners and even an imposter. It entailed losing His reputation. It would involve physical suffering, mental anguish and spiritual agony. In short, His coming to earth as the Christ, as Jesus of Nazareth, was a straightforward case of utter self-sacrifice that culminated in the cross of Calvary. The laid-down life, the poured-out blood were the supreme symbols of total selflessness. This was love. This was God. This was divinity in action, delivering men from their own utter selfishness, their own stupidity, their own suicidal instincts as lost sheep unable to help themselves.

6		Chicken breast
2	ts	Dried sage
1/2	ts	Salt
1/2	ts	Black pepper
2	ts	Minced garlic
6		Slices ham
1/3	c	Flour
1/2	c	Vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE A CHICKEN BREAST between two sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and
pound to an even thickness of 1/4-inch with the bottom of a small skillet
or the blunt side of a meat mallet. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
Mix the sage with the salt, pepper and garlic. Rub the mixture on one side
of the chicken breasts. Place a slice of ham over the seasoning, and then
roll the chicken breast into a spiral. Secure the spiral closed with
toothpicks or by tying them with string. Rub the rolls lightly with flour,
shaking off any excess. Pour the oil into a skillet, and heat it over
medium heat. Add the chicken rolls, being careful not to crowd the pan, and
cook until golden brown on the bottom. Turn with tongs, and cook until all
sides are brown, and the chicken is cooked in the center, about 15 to 20
minutes. Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately. Serves 6.

A Message from our Provider:

“God Answers Knee Mail”

A Christian finds satisfaction in every circumstance by getting strength from another, by going out of himself to Jesus Christ, by his faith acting upon Christ and bringing the strength of Jesus Christ into his own soul, he is thereby enabled to bear whatever God lays on him, by the strength that he finds from Jesus Christ. Of His fullness do we receive grace for grace; there is strength in Christ not only to sanctify and save us, but strength to support us under our burdens and afflictions, and Christ expects that when we are under any burden, we should act our faith upon Him to draw virtue and strength from Him.
