It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day,  And woman's plighted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day,  And woman's plighted faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the 1990s we had difficulty getting kids home from school, ...
