What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been a fabulous mission for planetary science, and it is hard to see it come to an end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31981]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been a fabulous mission for planetary science, and it is hard to see it come to an end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They live in their cars.
