There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way.

But in the best Greek text, the word Lord's is not included. The sin is not to discern the body; that is to say, not to discern that the church is a body, not to be aware of the oneness of the church, not to be aware of the togetherness in which all its members should be joined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity is a virtue of the heart, and not of the hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity is a virtue of the heart, and not of the hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had three chances to win the ballgame, and we blew all three of them, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32329]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had three chances to win the ballgame, and we blew all three of them,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should try to succeed by merit, not by favor.
