We have no reason to mistrust the New Testament assurance. The Easter message and the historical Jesus are joined by a bridge resting on many piers. Jesus proclaimed the good news of the presence of God who, like a forgiving father, seeks his lost children and grants even sinners the company of the Redeemer; the disciples preached the Gospel of Christ, who appeared as saviour and died on the cross for sinners. In the Holy Spirit Jesus drove out unclean spirits and conquered Satan; from Easter onwards he was extolled as the Lord of all spirits, who gives the Holy Spirit to believers and in him is ever present with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every reformation must have its victims.

But if this verse ("'They hated me without a cause." Ps. 69:4) occurred to Jesus as describing his enemies, surely he was also identifying with the rest of [Psalm 69] with its vivid description of overwhelming troubles and importune cries to God for deliverance. What in the upper room was still under the surface was openly expressed in the garden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65601]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary  The Old Testament does not occupy itself with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary  The Old Testament does not occupy itself with how Israel thought of God. Its concern is with how Israel ought to think of God. To it, the existence of God is not an open question, nor His nature, nor the accessibility of knowledge of Him. God Himself has taken care of that He has made Himself known to His people, and their business is not to feel after Him if haply they may fumblingly find Him, but to hearken to Him as He declares to them what and who He is.
