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[I have always enjoyed learning, and we accomplish a lot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36432]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always enjoyed learning, and we accomplish a lot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60054]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's an innocence that has kind of gone away.
