Those words have been interpreted as though they described the Law as a preparatory education, continued at a higher stage by Christ. That, however, is not quite what Paul meant. The "pedagogue" in Greek society was not a schoolmaster, he did not give lessons. He was a slave who accompanied a boy to school, and both waited upon him and exercised a supervision which interfered with the boy's freedom of action. He is, in fact, a figure in the little allegory which Paul gives us to illustrate the position of the People of God before Christ came. There was a boy left heir to a great estate. He was a minor, and so must have guardians and trustees. He was as helpless in their hands as if he had been a slave. He must live on the allowance they gave him, and follow their wishes from day to day. They gave him a "pedagogue" to keep him out of mischief. He could not please himself, or realize his own purposes and ambitions. Yet all the time he was the heir; the estate was his, and no one else's. Just so the People of God, the Divine Commonwealth, was cramped and fettered by ignorance and evil times. It remained in uneasy expectation of one day coming into active existence. At last the heir came of age: guardians and trustees abdicated their powers, and the grown man possessed in full realization all that was his. So now the fettered life of the Divine Commonwealth bursts its bonds and comes into active existence... The intervention of law was not a reversal of God's original and eternal purpose of pure love and grace towards men, it only subserved that purpose, while it seemed to contradict it, just as the presence of the "pedagogus" might seem to the high-spirited young heir quite contrary to the rights secured to him by his father's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man creates a pseudonym and hides behind it like a worm ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11514]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man creates a pseudonym and hides behind it like a worm]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I may justly say, with the hook-nosed fellow of Rome, I came, saw, and overcame. -King Henry IV.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. -Much Ado about Nothing. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55432]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. -Much Ado about Nothing.

Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24811]]></link><description><![CDATA[To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that electricity exists, because the electric company keeps sending us bills for it, but we cannot figure out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13694]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe that electricity exists, because the electric company keeps sending us bills for it, but we cannot figure out how it travels inside wires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hopefully, this thing subsides and he's going to be able to toe that slab here before the year is over, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hopefully, this thing subsides and he's going to be able to toe that slab here before the year is over, but we have no projected date for him, ...
