The wise said that God and the godlike could have no contact with suffering, but Jesus was no phantom feigning to be crucified; he truly suffered on the cross, he truly rose.

Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is like a kiss...you must share it to enjoy it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is like a kiss...you must share it to enjoy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25815]]></link><description><![CDATA[I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51230</guid></item></channel></rss>
