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
1. Combine sugars, corn syrup, butter or margarine, milk and salt in a
medium-size heavy saucepan.
2. Heat, stirring constantly, to boiling, then cook, stirring several
times, to 238F on a candy thermometer. (A teaspoonful of syrup will form a
soft ball when dropped in cold water.) Remove from heat at once. Add
vanilla, but do not stir in.
3. Cool mixture in pan to 110F, or until lukewarm; beat with wooden spoon
until mixture thickens and begins to lose its gloss. (This will take about
15 minutes.) 4. Spread in buttered 9x5x3" loaf pan. Let stand until set and
cool; cut into squares.
Makes about 2 pounds.
