More From Goldwin Smith

Character is supreme in life, hence jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing - so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of jesus christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.
Jesus Character Thinking
Class warfare always sounds good. taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. but that's not the job of the supreme court. the supreme court standing on the side of the american people? the supreme court adjudicates the law. the supreme court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. the supreme court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.
Powerful People Focus
The notion that the supreme court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. the supreme court is not the supreme branch. and for god's sake, it isn't the supreme being. it is the supreme court.
Government Two Three
To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).
Jesus Character Mean
The divine was beyond description, beyond knowing, beyond comprehension. to say that the divine was creation divided by destruction was as close as one could come to definition. but the puny of soul, the dull of wit, weren't content with that. they wanted to hang a face on the divine. they went so far as to attribute petty human emotions - anger, jealousy, etc - to it, not stopping to realize that if god were a being, even a supreme being, our prayers would have bored him to death long ago.
Prayer Knowing Long Ago
If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. he who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that god has not chosen to give him grace.

Surely it is not true blessedness to be free of sorrow while there is sorrow and sin in the world. sorrow is a part of love and love does not seek to throw it off.
