But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We definitely don't believe that this was an accident. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36652]]></link><description><![CDATA[We definitely don't believe that this was an accident.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God gave me this illness to remind me that I'm not number One; he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57708]]></link><description><![CDATA[God gave me this illness to remind me that I'm not number One; he is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skeptics are never deceived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skeptics are never deceived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist envies what the arties gains, The bard the rival bard's successful strains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist envies what the arties gains, The bard the rival bard's successful strains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is Truth which we must look for in Holy Writ, not cunning of words.
