God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Shredded flesh against unforgiving wood, iron stakes pounded through bone and wracked nerves, joints wrenched out of socket by the sheer dead weight of the body, public humiliation before the eyes of family, friends, and the world – that was death on the cross, “the infamous stake” as the Romans called it, “the barren wood,” the maxima mala crux. Or as the Greeks spat it out, the stauros. No wonder no one talked about it. No wonder parents hid their children’s eyes from it. The stauros was a loathsome thing, and the one who died on it was loathsome too, a vile criminal whose only use was to hang there as a putrid, decaying warning to anyone else who might follow his example. That is how Jesus died.
Cook peas as directed on package. Drain; keep warm.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine water, butter and sauce mix. Bring
to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add milk. Remove from heat.
Add potato flakes; with fork, beat well until potatoes are of desired
consistency.*
In ungreased 9x5-inch (1 1/2-quart) baking dish or 1 1/2-quart
microwave-safe casserole, layer half of potatoes. Top with peas, Parmesan
and Romano cheese blend and remaining half of potatoes. Sprinkle with
Cheddar cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 2 to 4 minutes or until cheese is
melted.
6 (2/3-cup) servings Prep Time: 15 minutes
TIP: * For stiffer potatoes, stir in a few more flakes. For creamier
potatoes, stir in a little more milk.
