If they follow Jesus, men escape from the hard yoke of their own laws, and submit to the kindly yoke of Jesus Christ. But does this mean that we can ignore the seriousness of His command? Far from it! We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when His command, His call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the man who follows the command of Jesus without reserve, and submits unresistingly to His yoke, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard -- unutterably hard -- for those who try to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vote: the instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vote: the instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal.
