He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a kingly act to help the fallen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50735]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a kingly act to help the fallen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rain, rain, and sun! a rainbow in the sky! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rain, rain, and sun! a rainbow in the sky!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going.

Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it hurts to look back,m and you're too scared to look ahead, just look beside you and your best ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16833]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it hurts to look back,m and you're too scared to look ahead, just look beside you and your best friend will be there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A theme is a memory aid, it helps you through the presentation just as it also provides the thread of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27756]]></link><description><![CDATA[A theme is a memory aid, it helps you through the presentation just as it also provides the thread of continuity for your audience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are to live unto God at any time, or in any place, we are to live unto Him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7062]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we are to live unto God at any time, or in any place, we are to live unto Him at all times and all places.
