Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laborin' man an' laborin' woman Hev one glory an' one shame;  Ev'ything thet's done inhuman   Injers all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laborin' man an' laborin' woman Hev one glory an' one shame;  Ev'ything thet's done inhuman   Injers all on 'em the same.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When sense runs out, one shall follow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22997]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sense runs out, one shall follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you feel bad about yourselfyou reverse your magnet and repel people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5780]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you feel bad about yourselfyou reverse your magnet and repel people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of it is the seat-of-your-pants-type thing and a lot of faith and trust in people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38511]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of it is the seat-of-your-pants-type thing and a lot of faith and trust in people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who gives to all, denies all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who gives to all, denies all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a situation of chaos in the military line of command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40297]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a situation of chaos in the military line of command.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't build in order to have clients.

For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jests that give pains are no jests ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jests that give pains are no jests]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A crown! what is it? It is to bear the miseries of a people!  To bear the miseries of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54487]]></link><description><![CDATA[A crown! what is it? It is to bear the miseries of a people!  To bear the miseries of a people!   And sink beneath a load of splendid care!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sir, he made a chimney in my father's house, and the bricks are alive at this day to testify it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sir, he made a chimney in my father's house, and the bricks are alive at this day to testify it. -King Henry VI.
