It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life. And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a fantastic breakthrough advertising and marketing campaign that is sure to be a great success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38065]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a fantastic breakthrough advertising and marketing campaign that is sure to be a great success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64555]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For each mouth, a different soup. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58633]]></link><description><![CDATA[For each mouth, a different soup.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44768]]></link><description><![CDATA[How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 Continuing a short series on education:   We demand, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 Continuing a short series on education:   We demand, as [St. Paul] did, that the candidate must be of good moral character -- at least, so far as that he can produce testimonials to his good conduct. We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Does he think I'm going to beat him? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Does he think I'm going to beat him?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a dangerous business, going out your door.
