Christ (n.) offers ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠no hold to rivalry: there is no acquisitive desire in him, so a will turned toward him meets no obstacle — his yoke is easy and his burden light.

Christ (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the incomparable victim, who never succumbs to the persecutor's view, either by agreeing with his executioners or by vengeance, merely its mirror image.

Christ (n.) stands ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in the place of all victims: it sounds like pious sentiment, but in the Gospel it is literally true, since we identify innocent victims by putting them in his place.

Christ (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the first Paraclete, the first advocate in the struggle against the representation of persecution; the Spirit of Truth will make the light already in the world shine, though man will do all he can not to see it.

Christ (n.) exposes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠violence by refusing to play any part in it, forcing it to write itself on his body where everyone can see it, and so slowly disarming it.
