They read the Evangel and yet refuse to acknowledge the
All-Glorious Lord, notwithstanding that He hath come through the potency of His
exalted, His mighty and gracious dominion. We, verily, have come for your
sakes, and have borne the misfortunes of the world for your salvation. Flee ye
the One Who hath sacrificed His life that ye may be quickened? Fear God, O
followers of the Spirit, and walk not in the footsteps of every divine that
hath gone far astray. Do ye imagine that He seeketh His own interests, when He
hath, at all times, been threatened by the swords of the enemies; or that He seeketh
the vanities of the world, after He hath been imprisoned in the most desolate
of cities? Be fair in your judgement and follow not the footsteps of the
unjust. - Baha’u’llah (Lawh-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Tablet), ‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas)
