His [Christ's] essential teaching was the unity of
mankind and the attainment of supreme human virtues through love. He came to
establish the Kingdom of peace and everlasting life. Can you find in His words
any justification for discord and enmity? The purpose of His life and the glory
of His death were to set mankind free from the sins of strife, war and
bloodshed. ('Abdu'l-Baha, excerpt from a talk, ‘The Promulgation of Universal
Peace’)
