Men might allege that they had seen the risen Lord; but that was nothing till they themselves were known. The witness of the resurrection was not the word of Paul (as we see at Athens) nor of the Eleven; it was the new power in life and death that the world saw in changed men... The legend of a reputed resurrection of some unknown person in Palestine nobody needed to consider; but what were you to do with the people who died in the arena, the reborn slaves with their newness of life in your own house? And when you "looked into the story", it was no mere somebody or other of whom they told it. The conviction of the people you knew, amazing in its power of transforming character and winning first the goodwill and the trust and then the conversion of others, was supported and confirmed by the nature and personality of the Man of whom they spoke, of whom you read in their books. "Never man spake like this man", you read, nor thought like this man, nor like this man believed in God. I can not but think that the factors that make a man Christian to-day were those that won the world then, our age and that age, in culture, in hopes and fears in loss of nerve, are not unlike.

Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the lips that touch their brow have known the kiss of sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to finish when I fold my hand and go up to the big poker game in the sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28604]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's going to finish when I fold my hand and go up to the big poker game in the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have seen that Man moves over with each new generation into a bigger body, more awful, more reverent and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48369]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have seen that Man moves over with each new generation into a bigger body, more awful, more reverent and more free than he has had before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A feeble body weakens the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4434]]></link><description><![CDATA[A feeble body weakens the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4434</guid></item></channel></rss>
