When I saw this picture, I said to myself "yum". Wouldn't you know I would spot this on my first day of a new diet. Sometimes things just happen, I guess. Diet aside, this is one very stupendous sandwich! How would one go about eating it? Certainly no one that I have ever met could open their mouth wide enough to accommodate this little jewel. So, I guess if you really wanted to eat this it would have to be done piecemeal. Just goes to show you that everyone has their limits. Oddly enough, this passage from the book of Galatians came to mind.
Gal 2:11-21
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
15 "We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners,
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
17 But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
21 I don't make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!" WEB

Why grace instead of law? Because no one could keep the law perfectly, that's why! Like the sandwich, it could be dealt with in parts, but reality is that we all make mistakes from time to time. So, grace was given by God because he understands us and allows for our shortcomings. That being said, I just came home and its time for my supper, so I have to say good morning for now; and relax, if I have a sandwich, its going to be a small one.
