Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, Muhammad, Moses, Zoroaster. These were messengers not because of his own talent, but because he recognized such in his fellow man. He saw the potential in his brother. Of what he is. Of what he can be. Which is the greatest gift of all.

Here's a Great Truth from the Bahá'í faith. Progressive Revelation.

Bahá'í notions of progressive religious revelation result in their accepting the validity of most of the world's religions, whose founders and central figures are seen as Manifestations of God. Religious history is interpreted as a series of dispensations, where each manifestation brings a somewhat broader and more advanced revelation, suited for the time and place in which it was expressed. Specific religious social teachings (e.g. the direction of prayer, or dietary restrictions) may be revoked by a subsequent manifestation so that a more appropriate requirement for the time and place may be established. Conversely, certain general principles are seen to be universal and consistent.

We are Infinity. Infinity is us. We are all each other's prophets. Some of us just haven't recognized it yet. But we will.
