Description:Excerpt from Jesus as They Saw Him, Vol. 2: The Gospel According to Luke IN J. F. Clarke's Legend of Thomas Didymus - a fascinat ing reconstruction of the life of Jesus - the sentence occurs (p. But to Him every question was like a globe, having an infinite number of sides, and He saw them all.' Whenever we try to penetrate below the surface of the Master's teaching, we come upon a system of opposite though not opposed paradoxes. To take a general instance to start with, the Sermon on the Mount lays great emphasis upon the importance of motive. To wish to hurt is morally as questionable as actual murder, the lustful look equivalent to adultery. Yet we are to know the tree by its fruits, and the whole discourse finds its climax in doing: He that heareth My words, and doeth them.'1 You will not do unless you want to do; but it is not enough to want to do good. Bad motives which shrink from action are no better for that reason indeed, they are positive sins. But good motives which are not carried into deed thoughts hardly to be packed into a narrow act - are not positive virtues they must find their way into practice, or die, for virtuous aspiration is a less hardy plant than evil desire.
