What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have more than thou showest, Speak less than thou knowest,  Lend less than thou owest,   Ride more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51334]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have more than thou showest, Speak less than thou knowest,  Lend less than thou owest,   Ride more than thou goest,    Learn more than thou trowest,     Set less than thou throwest;      Leave thy drink and thy whore,       And keep in-a-door,        And thou shalt have more         Than two tens to a score.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   What is the Christian?

Everywhere the man who, so far as he comprehends Jesus Christ, so far as he can get any knowledge of Him, is His servant -- the man who makes Christ a teacher of his intelligence and the guide of his soul -- the man who obeys Christ as far as he has been able to understand him... I would know any man as a Christian, would rejoice to know any man as a Christian, whom Jesus would recognize as a Christian; and Jesus Christ, I am sure, in these old days recognized His followers even if they came after Him with the blindest sight, with the most imperfect recognition and acknowledgment of what He was and of what He could do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is wrong.
