The ministry of Jesus, therefore, culminating in His death, is essential to Paul's whole thought. If in certain aspects of his theology it is the death that bulks most largely -- because it seemed to him to be the purest and most moving expression of what the whole life meant -- he is quite aware that the ethical impulse given by the example and teaching of Jesus is of the very stuff of the Christian life. He alludes to the Gospel story but sparingly, but those who study his teaching most closely become aware that he is himself acting and speaking all through under the impulse of the life and teaching of Jesus. If he refuses to "know Christ after the flesh," it means that he will not risk a harking back to the temporary conditions of the Galilean ministry when the Spirit of Christ is clearly leading out into new fields. The issues of that ministry have been gathered up in the new experience of "Christ in me", and that experience gives a living Christ, who leads ever onward those who will adventure with Him, and not a prophet of the past, whose words might pass into a dead tradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His resolution is unshaken; tears, though shed, avail not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51805]]></link><description><![CDATA[His resolution is unshaken; tears, though shed, avail not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline is remembering what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discipline is remembering what you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And gain is gain, however small. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17150]]></link><description><![CDATA[And gain is gain, however small.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The will to win is worthless if you don't get paid for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57465]]></link><description><![CDATA[The will to win is worthless if you don't get paid for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Base wealth preferring to eternal praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Base wealth preferring to eternal praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the Judiciary, which they may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9916]]></link><description><![CDATA[The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the Judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Apple sells hardware and software.

Men might allege that they had seen the risen Lord; but that was nothing till they themselves were known. The witness of the resurrection was not the word of Paul (as we see at Athens) nor of the Eleven; it was the new power in life and death that the world saw in changed men... The legend of a reputed resurrection of some unknown person in Palestine nobody needed to consider; but what were you to do with the people who died in the arena, the reborn slaves with their newness of life in your own house? And when you "looked into the story", it was no mere somebody or other of whom they told it. The conviction of the people you knew, amazing in its power of transforming character and winning first the goodwill and the trust and then the conversion of others, was supported and confirmed by the nature and personality of the Man of whom they spoke, of whom you read in their books. "Never man spake like this man", you read, nor thought like this man, nor like this man believed in God. I can not but think that the factors that make a man Christian to-day were those that won the world then, our age and that age, in culture, in hopes and fears in loss of nerve, are not unlike.
