No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Back of the boy is Wilson, Pledge of his high degree,  Back of the boy is Lincoln,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Back of the boy is Wilson, Pledge of his high degree,  Back of the boy is Lincoln,   Lincoln and Grant and Lee;    Back of the boy is Jackson,     Jackson and Tippecanoe,      Back of each son is Washington,       And the old red, white and blue!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems not to have been written.
