But the substance of that covenant is all pure mercy and grace. If men presume to claim for themselves, upon the basis of the covenant, some relationship with God other than that of the sinner needing God's grace, the covenant has been perverted. And when that has happened, God, in the sovereign freedom of His grace, destroy these pretensions, calls "No people" to be His people, breaks off natural branches and grafts in wild slips, filling them with the life that is His own life imparted to man. There is no law in His Kingdom save the law of pure grace. That is why they come from east and west to sit down with Abraham and Isaac, while the sons of the Kingdom are cast out; for the sons of the Kingdom have no place there unless they are willing to sit down with all whom the Lord of the feast shall call, and to receive His mercy in exactly the same way as the publicans and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe more in precision, when you have the capability, like when you see a mosquito fly and you're able ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28861]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe more in precision, when you have the capability, like when you see a mosquito fly and you're able to hit it, you're able to hit it with a couple of short sharp shots... it's a beautiful thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  Although ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  Although tares, or impure vessels, are found in the church, yet this is not a reason why we should withdraw from it. It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man.
