Question: Did Baha’u’llah claim to be greater than Jesus,
the Christ?
‘Abdu’l-Baha’s answer: Baha’u’llah has not claimed Himself
to be greater than Christ. He gave the following explanation: That the
Manifestations of God are the Rising Points of one and the same Sun; i.e. the
Sun of Reality is One, but the places of rising are numerous. Thus, Reality is
One, but it is shining upon several mirrors.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star
of the West, vol. 2, no. 6, June 24, 1911)
