It connotes the creative, outgoing, self-revealing activity of God. The Logos was not a particular divine utterance, but God's overall message to mankind. It was not necessarily communicated verbally in speech or writing. Indeed, the whole point of Christianity is that the supreme communication of the Word took place when it was expressed through a human life and personality in Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect.
