But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In truth there is no such thing in man's nature as a settled and full resolve either for good or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53961]]></link><description><![CDATA[In truth there is no such thing in man's nature as a settled and full resolve either for good or evil, except at the very moment of execution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody basically gets behind Wood.
