Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To laugh at men of sense is the privilege of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28068]]></link><description><![CDATA[To laugh at men of sense is the privilege of fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[De ce să repetăm greşelile înaintaşilor, cand sunt atâtea noi greşeli de făcut? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65138]]></link><description><![CDATA[De ce să repetăm greşelile înaintaşilor, cand sunt atâtea noi greşeli de făcut?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has his price. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has his price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clock should have gone back to nine seconds instead of down to five, but I've got to hand it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38573]]></link><description><![CDATA[The clock should have gone back to nine seconds instead of down to five, but I've got to hand it to the other team.

No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.
