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[Nowadays, all the married men live like bachelors, and all the bachelors like married men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowadays, all the married men live like bachelors, and all the bachelors like married men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47224]]></link><description><![CDATA[To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there an equality of power between America and Iraq?

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A play is fiction-and fiction is fact distilled into truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34298]]></link><description><![CDATA[A play is fiction-and fiction is fact distilled into truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people resemble ballads which are only sung for a certain time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people resemble ballads which are only sung for a certain time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in vain, 0 men, that you seek within yourselves the cure for your miseries.

All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. The philosophers promised them to you, and have not been able to keep their promises... Your principal maladies are pride, which cuts you off from God, and sensuality, which binds you to the earth; and they have done nothing but foster at least one of these maladies. If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['T is but the fate of place, and the rough brake That virtue must go through. -King Henry VIII.
