The station of Christ was that of absolute perfection. Those
divine perfections shone even as the sun upon all believing souls, and the
outpourings of that light became manifest and resplendent in their realities.
That is why He says: “I am the bread which came down from heaven; whosoever
shall eat of this bread will not die”; [John 6:50–1] that is, whosoever
partakes of this divine sustenance will gain eternal life. Thus, whoever
partook of this grace and acquired a share of these perfections found eternal
life, and whoever sought illumination from His ancient grace was delivered from
the darkness of error and illumined by the light of guidance. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks in Akka, authenticated by ‘Abdu’l-Baha; ‘Some Answered Questions’ –
