The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23825]]></link><description><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove--  The dearest remembrance will still be the last,   Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a mystery to me, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30619]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a mystery to me,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43291]]></link><description><![CDATA[How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O great corrector of enormous times, Shaker of o'er-rank states, thou grand decider  Of dusty and old titles, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61131]]></link><description><![CDATA[O great corrector of enormous times, Shaker of o'er-rank states, thou grand decider  Of dusty and old titles, that healest with blood   The earth when it is sick, and curest the world    O' the pleurisy of people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65665]]></link><description><![CDATA[To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I only understand friendship or scorched earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65229]]></link><description><![CDATA[I only understand friendship or scorched earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every pang that rends the heart the Man of Sorrows has a part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53649]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every pang that rends the heart the Man of Sorrows has a part.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Long open panegyric drags at best, And praise is only praise when well address'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long open panegyric drags at best, And praise is only praise when well address'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life sofull of meaningful things that you'll hardly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life sofull of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think aboutfood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, could I fly, I'd fly with thee! We'd make, with joyful wing,  Our annual visit o'er the globe, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, could I fly, I'd fly with thee! We'd make, with joyful wing,  Our annual visit o'er the globe,   Companions of the spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In winter, places look very different, and it gives a feeling of exploration.
