He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.  ... Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ May 11, 2000 Concluding a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus' good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God had come, and that he, Jesus, was its herald and expounder to men. More than that, in some special and mysterious was, he was the kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14347]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more gave a thumb to his wrist--   Then he was a Man and a Positivist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On wings of wind came flying all abroad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18780]]></link><description><![CDATA[On wings of wind came flying all abroad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We participate in tragedy.

For him shall endless prayer be made,  And princes throng to crown his head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant-voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoners leap to lose their chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item></channel></rss>
