Dear Paul,

There is no record that His Holiness the Christ personally wrote Holy
Scripture with His own hand. Therefore it is only by the "light" of
those "lamps", His disciples, that we have His Teachingsand the
explanations of the meaning of His Teachings. Without those "lamps",
one of which "lamps" was the Bible writer Paul, and also the Gospel
writers, we would know nothing of His Holiness the Christ, and His
Mission would have failed.

His Mission did not fail.

Similarly it is by Baha'u'llah's own design that His faithful followers
have a share in the triumph and accomplishment of His Mission.

The victory of His Holy Covenant will surely obtain through the efforts
of those He thus permits to share in that victory, and the 'expounders
of His Words', His "chosen ministers" of His Covenant, namely the
Guardians of the Baha'i Faith, are most certainly written into that
Divine Plan, as recorded in Baha'i Holy Text, the sacred and immutable
Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha'.
