Search through every pagan nation, inquire in every idol temple, investigate the religious life of the idolaters of the world, and there will be found a fidelity to these false gods that will put Israel's unfaithfulness to her God to shame. Israel's conduct was unheard of even among the heathen. The idolatrous nations remained true to their gods, in spite of the fact that they did not actually exist and could not help them in any way. God, as it were, marvels at Israel's unbelief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Housekeeping ain't no joke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Housekeeping ain't no joke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll be ready as of tomorrow to receive the unions ...

No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.
