Those words have been interpreted as though they described the Law as a preparatory education, continued at a higher stage by Christ. That, however, is not quite what Paul meant. The "pedagogue" in Greek society was not a schoolmaster, he did not give lessons. He was a slave who accompanied a boy to school, and both waited upon him and exercised a supervision which interfered with the boy's freedom of action. He is, in fact, a figure in the little allegory which Paul gives us to illustrate the position of the People of God before Christ came. There was a boy left heir to a great estate. He was a minor, and so must have guardians and trustees. He was as helpless in their hands as if he had been a slave. He must live on the allowance they gave him, and follow their wishes from day to day. They gave him a "pedagogue" to keep him out of mischief. He could not please himself, or realize his own purposes and ambitions. Yet all the time he was the heir; the estate was his, and no one else's. Just so the People of God, the Divine Commonwealth, was cramped and fettered by ignorance and evil times. It remained in uneasy expectation of one day coming into active existence. At last the heir came of age: guardians and trustees abdicated their powers, and the grown man possessed in full realization all that was his. So now the fettered life of the Divine Commonwealth bursts its bonds and comes into active existence... The intervention of law was not a reversal of God's original and eternal purpose of pure love and grace towards men, it only subserved that purpose, while it seemed to contradict it, just as the presence of the "pedagogus" might seem to the high-spirited young heir quite contrary to the rights secured to him by his father's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For there are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion, That if by chance it be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15540]]></link><description><![CDATA[For there are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion, That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble,  Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret,   Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13740]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all religions, Christianity is without a doubt the one that should inspire tolerance most, although, up to now, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all religions, Christianity is without a doubt the one that should inspire tolerance most, although, up to now, the Christians have been the most intolerant of all men]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees of grace at any given moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18098]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees of grace at any given moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men become old, but they never become good ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men become old, but they never become good]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45187]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got a problem.
