"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only will atomic power be released, but someday we will harness the rise and fall of the tides and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only will atomic power be released, but someday we will harness the rise and fall of the tides and imprison the rays of the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's just a difference maker.
