His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law is a Bottomless-Pit, it is a Cormorant, a Harpy, that devours every thing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law is a Bottomless-Pit, it is a Cormorant, a Harpy, that devours every thing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's kind of what makes us go.

"Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day.
