Parable 1.
The following parable about the Lord of the Vineyard can be used to help explain Baha'u'llah's Station of the Father-the Lord of the Vineyard, as Christ's Station was that of the Son: Unfortunately, those who don't understand or accept the oneness of the Prophets, tend to place Christ higher than all other Prophets, since they believe He was more than a Prophet, thinking that He is the only begotten Son of God and, misunderstanding the Trinity, think He is God and therefore higher than all the Prophets. They need to be educated in the Oneness of the Prophets, the Station of the Manifestation, and the truth about the Trinity. You can reference the previous section as well as The Kitab-i-iqan for expositions on these subjects. Remember: ''Abdu'l-Baha never argued religion with anyone. He simply explained to them how what they were saying was true, dispelling their idle fancies and vain imaginings with the Truth in an informative, knowledgeable, sincere and kindly way. Most Christians should be at least somewhat familiar with this parable and many will have heard an explanation of it up to the point where the Son is sent into the Vineyard. The Vineyard is this world which has been sown with the seeds of the Word of God. The husbandmen are the human race. The Lord of the Vineyard is, of course, God Himself, the Father. The Servants Whom He sent are the Old Testament Prophets, the Son is, of course Jesus Christ, Whom they also slew. Just as the Holy Spirit as the Son came in the form of the human temple of Jesus, so, too, did the Holy Spirit as the Father come in the form of the human temple of Baha'u'llah. The actual parable follows as recorded in the Book of Matthew: (7:2)
