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? Was not His whole life one of complete self-surrender, from first to last? Was He not continually giving up until, at the Cross, He gave up His precious life as a ransom for many?
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord.” (John 15:20).
“The world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14).
