A friend asked how the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh contrasted
with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
“The teachings are the same.” declared ‘Abdu’l-Bahá; “It is
the same foundation and the same temple. Truth is one, and without division.
The teachings of Jesus are in a concentrated form. Men do not agree to this day
as to the meaning of many of His sayings. His teachings are as a flower in the
bud. Today, the bud is unfolding into a flower! Bahá’u’lláh has expanded and
fulfilled the teachings, and has applied them in detail to the whole world.”
