His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is not an easy form of government, because it is never final; it is a living, changing organism, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is not an easy form of government, because it is never final; it is a living, changing organism, with a continuous shifting and adjusting of balance between individual freedom and general order.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise does wonders for our sense of hearing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise does wonders for our sense of hearing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were trying to give it its own identity.

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know this to be all nonsense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50635]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know this to be all nonsense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessing star forth forever; but a curse Is like a cloud--it passes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessing star forth forever; but a curse Is like a cloud--it passes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Browning ... tells us that what won him for Christ was this, that while others tried to soothe his angry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Browning ... tells us that what won him for Christ was this, that while others tried to soothe his angry conscience, and kept urging that, really, things were not nearly so bad as he was making out, Christ looked him in the eyes and told him bluntly that he was a desperate sinner, worse, much worse, even than he realized. And that, queerly enough as you might think, the man was not discomfited but heartened. Here at last, he felt, is one who understands and knows the facts. And since His desperate diagnosis is so accurate, may not His optimism also justify itself even in me.

He did not here and now deal with sinful men. Paul lets us see how new and wonderful was the experience when God "flashed on his heart" in personal dealing with him. He had not suspected that God was like that. His theological studies had told him that God was loving and merciful; but he had thought this love and mercy were expressed once and for all in the arrangements He had made for Israel's blessedness... It was a new thing to be assured by an inward experience admitting of no further question that God loved him, and that the eternal mercy was a Father's free forgiveness of His erring child. This was the experience that Christ had brought him: he had seen the splendour of God's own love in the face of "the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
