What is the difference between a Supremum and a Maximum of a sequence?

A supremum is a number such that it is larger than all numbers in the given sequence. Although this is true for a maximum, the maximum has an additional property that it must be a member of the sequence so although each maximum is a supremum this is how they differ.
