Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have to ask, you can't afford it! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5034]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have to ask, you can't afford it!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No married man is genuinely happy if he has to drink worse whisky than he used to drink when he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26469]]></link><description><![CDATA[No married man is genuinely happy if he has to drink worse whisky than he used to drink when he was single.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26469</guid></item></channel></rss>
