What is the Christian’s path in the world? He is to follow his Master—in all things. Did He assert His right? Did He go to law? Did He try to regulate the world? Did He wield the sword?

“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord.” (John 15:20²⁰Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. (John 15:20)).

“The world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14¹⁴I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:14)).
