Like a widow!

From the viewpoint of the physical, Christians are as without reliance as any widow.

We are to be the Meekest of all, who offer no resistance of any kind; and hence, we suffer persecution and humiliation everywhere.

We were never instructed to seek for power and position in this world; instead, to be Humble and Lowly by Accepting the spite and harassment of this world and by refusing to claim anything according to right or law.

Such is the Position of the Christians and the Path which our Lord Himself Has Set for us.
