The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Begin with another's to end with your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Begin with another's to end with your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Divine Perfections.

How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  There is joy and strength, of course, in this holy food and drink, but it is also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  There is joy and strength, of course, in this holy food and drink, but it is also an inevitable joining forces with the vast Scheme of reconciliation and redemption. Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As quick as lightning, in the breach Just in the place where honour's lodged,  As wise philosophers have judged, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19715]]></link><description><![CDATA[As quick as lightning, in the breach Just in the place where honour's lodged,  As wise philosophers have judged,   Because a kick in that place more    Hurts honour than deep wounds before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We follow the parliament and will definitely implement its bills, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41296]]></link><description><![CDATA[We follow the parliament and will definitely implement its bills,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that judges without informing himself to the utmost that he is capable, cannot acquit himself of judging amiss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23539]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that judges without informing himself to the utmost that he is capable, cannot acquit himself of judging amiss.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603 Continuing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603 Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of v. 18]   The glory to come far outweighs the affliction of the present. The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bibles read without prayer; sermons heard without prayer; marriages contracted without prayer; journeys undertaken without prayer; residences chosen without prayer; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bibles read without prayer; sermons heard without prayer; marriages contracted without prayer; journeys undertaken without prayer; residences chosen without prayer; friendships formed without prayer; the daily act of prayer itself hurried over, or gone through without heart: these are the kind of downward steps by which many a Christian descends to a condition of spiritual palsy, or reaches the point where God allows them to have a tremendous fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Halfe the world knowes not how the other halfe lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Halfe the world knowes not how the other halfe lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It requires more courage to suffer than to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58224]]></link><description><![CDATA[It requires more courage to suffer than to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms.

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am learning all the time.
