And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637   Suffer all, and conquer all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637   Suffer all, and conquer all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wrong to suppose that for Paul faith is a meritorious act on man's part, which wins salvation, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is wrong to suppose that for Paul faith is a meritorious act on man's part, which wins salvation, or even, in a more modern way of speech, a creative moral principle in itself. Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951  To the dim and bewildered vision of humanity, God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951  To the dim and bewildered vision of humanity, God's care is more evident in some instances than in others; and upon such instances men seize, and call them providences.
