Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever. -Isak Dinesen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65760]]></link><description><![CDATA[The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale,  And nightly to the listening earth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale,  And nightly to the listening earth   Repeats the story of her birth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The political world is stimulating.
