…Christ accomplished what all the kings of the earth were
powerless to achieve. He united differing nations and changed ancient customs.
Consider what great differences existed between Romans, Greeks, Syrians,
Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Israelites, as well as other peoples of Europe.
Christ abolished these differences and became the cause of concord among these
peoples. Although after a long while the governments disrupted this unity,
Christ had indeed accomplished His task.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks in Akka,
