I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47533]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enjoy the present hour, be thankful for the past, And neither fear nor wish th' approaches of the last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enjoy the present hour, be thankful for the past, And neither fear nor wish th' approaches of the last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be scared of situations you get into that are bigger than you can possibly imagine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't be scared of situations you get into that are bigger than you can possibly imagine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beginning a short series on authenticity:   A mere form of religion does upon some accounts bring a man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beginning a short series on authenticity:   A mere form of religion does upon some accounts bring a man under a heavier sentence than if he were openly profane and irreligious.

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9035]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is God's joke on us.
