While in London, a friend asked ‘Abdu’l-Baha how the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh contrasted with the teachings of Jesus Christ. ‘Abdu’l-Baha responded:
"The teachings are the same. It is the same foundation and the same temple. Truth is one, and without division. The teachings of Jesus are in a concentrated form. Men do not agree to this day as to the meaning of many of His sayings. His teachings are as a flower in the bud. Today, the bud is unfolding into a flower! Bahá'u'lláh has expanded and fulfilled the teachings, and has applied them in detail to the whole world."
