At the time His Holiness Jesus Christ was
crucified, there were eleven disciples and even they were doubting -- Peter
heading them -- until Mary the Magdalene, that lioness of God, strengthened
them and was the cause of confirming them. Then consider how great were the
results!
And now, His Holiness Baha’u’llah, when
He ascended, had half a million souls who were self-sacrificing and all were
perfectly firm and staunch! Consider what a marvelous potency this will
exercise.
