It was there that he received the first public witness of his Messianic role and found his first followers. The gospel was to be rooted in John's teaching of asceticism and regeneration. But we see from the start that the gospel of Jesus was to be quite different. To the baptism of water would be added the baptism of the Spirit, and the new message was to be addressed to all. The widening of the circle of hearers and converts, which had preoccupied John, was to expand still further with the gospel of Jesus. Of the hundreds of thousands of Jews, the Essenes only regarded as saved a few thousand elect. Jesus was soon to offer the Covenant of God to all men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To touch the quick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55144]]></link><description><![CDATA[To touch the quick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know it is a sin For me to sit and grin  At him here;   But the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18887]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know it is a sin For me to sit and grin  At him here;   But the old three-cornered hat    And the breeches and all that     Are so queer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35132]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18874]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Helicon of too many poets is not a hill crowned with sunshine and visited by the Muses and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64913]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Helicon of too many poets is not a hill crowned with sunshine and visited by the Muses and the Graces, but an old, mouldering house, full of gloom and haunted by ghosts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with everything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with everything they got]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I came here.

The world wants to see redemption: it is not interested in being talked to about it.
