He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child miseducated is a child lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13499]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child miseducated is a child lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's call him Sugar, he's very sweet and he's the coach. ...

No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.
