We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is "of him". If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, they will be found in his anointing. If we seek strength, it lies in his dominion; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, it appears in his birth. For by his birth he was made like us in all respects that he might learn to feel our pain. If we seek redemption, it lies in his passion; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross; if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his descent into hell; if mortification of the flesh, in his tomb; if newness of life, in his resurrection; if immortality, in the same; if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in his entrance into heaven; if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in his Kingdom; if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to him to judge. In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is what enables us to bridge the gap of disappointment when others don't live up to the expectations we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is what enables us to bridge the gap of disappointment when others don't live up to the expectations we have of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell.
