We testify that when He [Jesus] came into the world, He shed
the splendor of His glory upon all created things. Through Him the leper
recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Through Him the
unchaste and wayward were healed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the
eyes of the blind were opened and the soul of the sinner sanctified.... He it
is Who purified the world. Blessed is the man who, with a face beaming with
light, hath turned towards Him.
- Baha’u’llah
