Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pity bashful men, who feel the pain Of fancied scorn and undeserved disdain,  And bear the marks upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4376]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pity bashful men, who feel the pain Of fancied scorn and undeserved disdain,  And bear the marks upon a blushing face,   OF needless shame, and self-impos'd disgrace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style is a magic wand, and turns everything to gold that it touches ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style is a magic wand, and turns everything to gold that it touches]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53339]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26408]]></link><description><![CDATA[I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darker than darkest pansies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Darker than darkest pansies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend,  Bids each on other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend,  Bids each on other for assistance call,   Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The odds are that things are going to be a little stronger than people anticipate in another month or so. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38035]]></link><description><![CDATA[The odds are that things are going to be a little stronger than people anticipate in another month or so.
