…through the manifestation of Christ, the sacred teachings,
which are everlasting grace, were spread abroad, the lights of guidance shone
forth, and the spirit of life was conferred upon human realities. Whosoever was
guided aright found life, and whosoever remained astray was overtaken by
everlasting death. That bread which came down from heaven was the celestial
body of Christ and His spiritual elements, of which the disciples ate and
through which they attained everlasting life.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks in
Akka, authenticated by ‘Abdu’l-Baha; ‘Some Answered Questions’ – 2014 revised
