Those words have been interpreted as though they described the Law as a preparatory education, continued at a higher stage by Christ. That, however, is not quite what Paul meant. The "pedagogue" in Greek society was not a schoolmaster, he did not give lessons. He was a slave who accompanied a boy to school, and both waited upon him and exercised a supervision which interfered with the boy's freedom of action. He is, in fact, a figure in the little allegory which Paul gives us to illustrate the position of the People of God before Christ came. There was a boy left heir to a great estate. He was a minor, and so must have guardians and trustees. He was as helpless in their hands as if he had been a slave. He must live on the allowance they gave him, and follow their wishes from day to day. They gave him a "pedagogue" to keep him out of mischief. He could not please himself, or realize his own purposes and ambitions. Yet all the time he was the heir; the estate was his, and no one else's. Just so the People of God, the Divine Commonwealth, was cramped and fettered by ignorance and evil times. It remained in uneasy expectation of one day coming into active existence. At last the heir came of age: guardians and trustees abdicated their powers, and the grown man possessed in full realization all that was his. So now the fettered life of the Divine Commonwealth bursts its bonds and comes into active existence... The intervention of law was not a reversal of God's original and eternal purpose of pure love and grace towards men, it only subserved that purpose, while it seemed to contradict it, just as the presence of the "pedagogus" might seem to the high-spirited young heir quite contrary to the rights secured to him by his father's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to vary in order that you may frustrate the curious, especially those who envy you. - The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27724]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to vary in order that you may frustrate the curious, especially those who envy you. - The Oracle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59782]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who did leave His Father's throne, To assume thy flesh and bone?  Had He life, or had He none? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who did leave His Father's throne, To assume thy flesh and bone?  Had He life, or had He none?   If he had not liv'd for thee,    Thou hadst died most wretchedly     And two deaths had been thy fee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865   We must be willing to accept ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865   We must be willing to accept the bitter truth that, in the end, we may have to become a burden to those who love us. But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know if we've made a statement, but it's enjoyable.
