Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have large bodies of water to moderate the temperatures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37834]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't have large bodies of water to moderate the temperatures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have a religion, I have a relationship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29433]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have a religion, I have a relationship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see The Holly-tree?  The eye that contemplates it well perceives   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19585]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see The Holly-tree?  The eye that contemplates it well perceives   Its glossy leaves    Ordered by an Intelligence so wise     As might confound the Atheist's sophistries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882  The commandment of God is, that we love Our Lord in all our heart, in all our soul, in all our thought. In all our heart; that is, in all our understanding without erring. In all our soul; that is, in all our will without gainsaying. In all our thought; that is, that we think on Him without forgetting. In this manner is very love and true, that is work of man's will. For love is a willful stirring of our thoughts unto God, so that it receive nothing that is against the love of Jesus Christ, and therewith that it be lasting in sweetness of devotion; and that is the perfection of this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too rigid scruples are concealed pride. [Ger., Zu strenge Ford'rung ist verborgner Stolz.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too rigid scruples are concealed pride. [Ger., Zu strenge Ford'rung ist verborgner Stolz.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one door closes, another opens: but we often look so long and soregretfully upon the closed door that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21185]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one door closes, another opens: but we often look so long and soregretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which hasopened for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10890]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in books or embodied in customs, institutions and monuments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boast is always a cry of despair, except in the young it is a cry of hope ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boast is always a cry of despair, except in the young it is a cry of hope]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle Long did I toil and knew no earthly rest, Far did I rove and found ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle Long did I toil and knew no earthly rest, Far did I rove and found no certain home; At last I sought them in His sheltering breast, Who opes His arms and bids the weary come: With Him I found a home, a rest divine, And I, since then, am His, and He is mine. The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am really close to my family.
