It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Historians don't really like to carry on speculative debates, but you could certainly argue that the likelihood of a Soviet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Historians don't really like to carry on speculative debates, but you could certainly argue that the likelihood of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe was extremely, extremely low.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can really make jelly out of anything if you have enough sugar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39273]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can really make jelly out of anything if you have enough sugar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience, n. -- A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience, n. -- A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you seek violence, we will seek to put you in jail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47063]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you seek violence, we will seek to put you in jail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wait all these years to find someone who understands us, I thought, someone who accepts us as we are, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55070]]></link><description><![CDATA[We wait all these years to find someone who understands us, I thought, someone who accepts us as we are, someone with a wizard's power to melt stone to sunlight, who can bring us happiness in spite of trials, who can face our dragons in the night, who can transform us into the soul we choose to be.
