Blessed are those who are invited…Christ (Rev. 19:9 NIV)
A New Season and a New Garden
In the Scriptures, religion is likened to a vineyard or a garden; God to the gardener (Matt. 5:13); His Messengers or Redeemers to trees (Matt. 13:1-23; 5:13); and their lives, teachings, and influence to fruits (Matt. 7:15). In each age or season, God creates a new garden and plants a new tree—the Tree of Life—that bears fresh fruit for the soul.
Why does the supreme Gardener create the garden? His goal is to offer spiritual nourishment to all those who thirst and hunger for the fruits of heaven.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Christ (Matt. 5:6 NIV)
But at the beginning of the new season, most people refuse to visit the new garden. Some of them are afraid to even look at its wondrous fruits.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Christ (Luke 12:32 NIV)
History shows that people have always rejected their Redeemers:
The one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Christ (John 3: 32 NIV)
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard…Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and went away on a journey. When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit. The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.Christ (Matt. 21:33-35 NIV)
This book presents conclusive evidence to show that once again God has created a new vineyard in the utmost beauty and splendor. We have received the honor of being invited to visit this vineyard and still the greater honor of being chosen by the Gardener:
For many are invited, but few are chosen. Christ (Matt. 22:14 NIV)
The Greatest News is an invitation to all those hungry for truth and knowledge to come for a short walk through this beautiful vineyard of joy and peace. The invitation takes the form of a brief dialogue between two friends.
One friend wants to share with the other the news of the coming of a new Messenger or Redeemer from God—known as Bahá’u’lláh, the Glory of God. Since this is a sensitive subject, he tries to break the news gently. He cherishes his friend and does not want to alienate him. This book is a record of his daydreams. If you were in his place, how would you break this news? What would be your daydream?
