Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Midnight, and yet no eye Through all the Imperial City closed in sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Midnight, and yet no eye Through all the Imperial City closed in sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good luck is a lazy man's estimate of a worker's success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good luck is a lazy man's estimate of a worker's success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every device employed to bolster individual freedom must have as its chief purpose the impairment of the absoluteness of power. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every device employed to bolster individual freedom must have as its chief purpose the impairment of the absoluteness of power. The indications are that such an impairment is brought about not by strengthening the individual and pitting him against the possessors of power, but by distributing and diversifying power and pitting one category or unit of power against the other.
