It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drinking will make a man quaff, Quaffing will make a man sing,  Singing will make a man laugh,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drinking will make a man quaff, Quaffing will make a man sing,  Singing will make a man laugh,   And laughing long life doth bring,    Says old Simon the King.   - Unattributed Author, Old Sir Simon the King,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now.

Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word.

Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit.
