...tempting. He offers to the world what the world, does not want. "Follow thou Me!" What does this mean? Do as I do; serve not yourself, serve the world.

So with Christ who exclaimed, "Why call eye me good!" Man lives in eternity, and these ideals are never fulfilled in the earthly life. Man is a mortal being, but he is above mortality in that he looks beyond it. Does the belief in immortality degrade the world? History tells us, No!
