The Good News for Bahá'ís

By Hegumen Abraam Sleman

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Good News. Not good advice. Not a spiritual perspective among many. Not the Christian contribution to the world's religious conversation. News - the announcement of something that has happened, that changes everything, and that is offered freely to every human being who will receive it. This book is written for the Bah ' reader. It is written with genuine respect for the sincerity with which Bah ' s seek God and pursue a better world. But it is not written to find common ground, or to suggest that Christianity and the Bah ' Faith are different expressions of the same truth. It is written because Jesus Christ is Lord - the eternal Son of God, who entered human history, bore the sin of the world on a Roman cross, rose bodily from the dead, and now offers to every person the gift that no teacher, no religion, and no spiritual vision can offer: forgiveness of sins, the indwelling presence of God by His Holy Spirit, and eternal life. The Bah ' Faith teaches that God has sent a series of divine Messengers - Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Bah 'u'll h - each one suited to his age, each one superseding the one before. Within this framework, Jesus is honored as a great Messenger whose dispensation has now been completed and whose role has been taken up by Bah 'u'll h's fuller revelation. This book presents a different claim entirely. Jesus Christ is not one Messenger in a series. He is the eternal Word of God - "the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature" (Hebrews 1:3) - who took on human flesh, accomplished in His death and resurrection what no subsequent teacher could add to or subtract from, and whose words stand forever: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away" (Matthew 24:35). That claim is either true or it is not. If it is true, its implications reach into every dimension of human existence - including the spiritual commitments of the Bah ' reader who holds this book. It is therefore presented here not softened, not adapted to make it easier to receive, but as Jesus Himself proclaimed it: with the directness of a God who loves too much to leave His creatures with anything less than the truth. Every chapter that follows is grounded in the Holy Scriptures - the Old and New Testaments - which are the Word of the living God and the only reliable source of knowledge about who Jesus is, what He accomplished, and what He offers.
