Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. Albert Einstein (2:26) The sacrifices made by the Bab and Jesus present us with two dramatic examples by which God teaches us lessons of detachment and dedication. He allows the Ones He loves most to become sacrificial Lambs. The few examples of self-sacrifice by God's chosen Messengers have had and will continue to have far more influence in elevating the human spirit than countless books of commandments and counsels. (2:27) How did this seemingly incredible event happen? The only explanation offered is that some bullets hit the rope first and severed it, thus allowing the Bab and His disciple to fall to the ground. Did God intervene or was it merely a coincidence? We have the choice to come to either conclusion. (2:28) References: |
