The World vs. Christ Jesus

The spirit of the world is hatred; that of Christ is love: the spirit of the world is vexation; that of Christ is pleasure: the spirit of the world is sorrow; that of Christ is joy: the spirit of the world is evil, and that of Christ is good: the spirit of the world will never satisfy us, but Christ’s Spirit is all satisfaction: the spirit of the world is misery, but that of Christ is ease.

In one word, the spirit of the world has nothing lasting, but Christ is durable, and will last through an eternity of ages. The Spirit of Christ will remove every difficulty, satisfy every doubt, and be a means of bringing you to Himself, to live with Him forever and ever.

- C. H. Spurgeon
