I think when Judas fled from his hanged and fallen body, he fled to the tender help of Jesus, and found it -- I say not how. He was in a more hopeful condition now than during any moment of his past life, for he had never repented before.

So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If everybody in town donates one threat, the poor man has a shirt ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47678]]></link><description><![CDATA[If everybody in town donates one threat, the poor man has a shirt]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was real surprised.
