In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must kill the spider to get rid of the cobweb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23711]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must kill the spider to get rid of the cobweb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine unlocks the breast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine unlocks the breast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll just have to wait until October for that to happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30604]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll just have to wait until October for that to happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every situation-nay, every moment-is of infinite worth; for it is therepresentative of a whole eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every situation-nay, every moment-is of infinite worth; for it is therepresentative of a whole eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was trying not to play her a lot.

Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find.
