Requirement to become a real follower of Christ
"As Christ said to a rich man: 'Go, and give all you have, and take up your cross and come and be My follower.' (Mark 10:24) This saying of Christ's indicates that unless one is free from everything, one cannot be a real follower of Christ." (Words of 'Abdu'l-Baha, recorded by Juliet Thompson during her visit in Akka, The Diary of Juliet Thompson, p. 36)

Baha'is love and revere Jesus
Our belief in Christ, as Bahá'ís, is so firm, so unshakable and so exalted in nature that very few Christians are to be found now-a-days who love Him and reverence Him and have the faith in Him that we have. It is only from the dogmas and creeds of the churches that we dissociate ourselves; not from the spirit of Christianity. (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the Bahá'ís of Vienna, June 24, 1947; Lights of Guidance, p. 159)
