Let Us Become the One Who Attends the Lord Who Has Come for the Sake of All Humankind

The title of the speech that I want to reflect on together with you is “Let Us Become the One Who Attends the Lord Who Has Come for the Sake of All Humankind.” I will speak briefly on this topic.

God, humankind, and all things had to be united into one eternally, centering on one ideal of creation. However, because humankind, which is in the middle of Heaven and all things, made a mistake, all came to be divided in several ways.

All things went their way, Heaven went its way, and humankind went their way.

Therefore, to restore the world to the original nature of creation, God could not help but carry out the dispensation of restoration, starting from all things and then going next to humankind, and then finally to Heaven. You should not be those who do not know about the Father's situation.

Today's people, we who were born with the fallen blood lineage, who are residing temporarily as a fallen tribe, must become those who feel first with their hearts and bodies that God's heart has been touched by sorrow.

Though we have fallen without exception, as long as the relationship that God has created with us remains, and as long as the Father exists, who is working laboriously to fulfill the providential will, we must not think as if we were standing in a meaningless situation.

Even if your souls are wicked, even if you are in a wicked position, you must become of your own accord one of those who recognize the tear-stained trails of the toilsome efforts of the Father, who has carried out the dispensation through the course of history, within you.

In short, the providence of restoration is to seek us again and restore us. Besides that, we must know that the ideal of the original nature of creation and the internal aspirations that remain within God are within us in the final days.

Now then, we must know that the grief of God, who stays as an invisible God, has touched our hearts ourselves, and the traces of the toilsome effort of God, who carries on the work of the dispensation of restoration invisibly, have remained within us as the grounds of our aspirations.

We who are on this earth must feel our hearts being broken as badly as God's and must make the toilsome effort, as God did, leaving trails of tribulation.

We must become those who will bend their bodies and minds and have feelings of grief that can replace the broken-hearted feeling of the heart of goodness of God's original nature, which is what God has been cherishing as hope.

Furthermore, we must know that God is there, wishing even to this day that the figure will emerge who has the heart of tribulations that can substitute for God's laborious effort and who can manifest the tribulations of the invisible God with a visible, substantial body.

Moreover, we must know that the Father has been searching for a religion of hope that can discern between right and wrong in all historical religions and realize our hope.

All of you gathered here today cannot but step forth to a position where you can experience in your heart that the Father has been longing for the emergence of a true saint on this earth whose mind will be suffused with tears, whose body can be stimulated asleep or awake, standing or acting, during a certain moment in the course of life or an instant of the hour.

Now, then, the ideal of creation that the invisible Father wanted to enjoy has remained as bitterness in His heart due to the fall of humankind. The happiness and glory after creating humankind and all things, and God's wish that all would be proud of God's love and share His joys and sorrows, intoxicated with the ideal of goodness, were all lost.

The figure who came with the mission to unravel this was Jesus. The figure who came as a substantial being to unravel the core of God's internal lamentation, representing the 4,000-year history of God's toilsome effort and representing humankind and all created things, was this very Jesus Christ.

Then there was the existence that should have attended Jesus, who had waited for Jesus, and could have enjoyed happiness with Jesus eternally!

The Jewish people then should have known that Jesus Christ was the figure who represented God's internal heart and the heart of deep-rooted bitterness. He came as the substantial, visible figure of God who would unravel God's bitterness.

However, no one among the Israelites knew about the internal providential will of God, who wished to be comforted through Jesus Christ and praised, saying, “This person is the figure who can unravel the resentment of God's heart, God who has lamented for 4,000 years. He is the eternal existential being that the Father has been searching for,” one who could sympathize with the heart of hope of God and attend Jesus.

The bitterness of the invisible God must be dissolved through visible humankind.

The figure who could represent God's lamentation and the lamentation of all humankind was Jesus.

However, Jesus never had a happy day in his whole life. This was because the tears of the lamentation of God, who had cried for 4,000 years, had touched his heart.

Furthermore, not even one came forward before Jesus, causing us to feel Jesus' lamentation deeply.

All humankind should have become united into one with Jesus and dissolved God's bitterness. Reflecting on the course of Jesus' life, there was no one like this.

Therefore, we should deeply impress upon our minds that the traces of this lack have been passed down to us today.

It had never occurred to the expectant Israelites, even in their dreams, that the Messiah, God's only-begotten son, and Heaven's crown prince, would emerge in such a sorrowful and haggard shape as this.

Therefore, Jesus searched for someone who could attend to him. While seeking, he carried it out not for his own sake but as the representative of God's internal heart.

Jesus searched for someone who could share the bitterness of God from the time of his birth, who could represent God's toilsome effort starting from the time of his birth, and who could represent God's hope starting from the time of his birth. He could not find someone like this even up to the time he climbed over the hill of the cross after passing through a thirty or so-year life course.

Since all humankind has attended Jesus, who died on the cross, how come nobody attended the living Jesus who came with God's eternal life and could transplant that love into humankind? The responsibility is with humankind.

Although Jesus came as the embodiment of God's hope, to resolve the grief of God and to get rid of the course of God's toilsome effort and to build a garden of hope, our ancestors did not fulfill their responsibility to hold the grief of Jesus in their arms, and to carry his tribulations themselves, to lead a life of understanding and entertaining his aspirations. That was the sin of our ancestors.

Then what is it that Jesus wants from us today?

Since what God had wished was to dissolve all of His bitterness through the single body of Jesus, and it has been prolonged due to our ancestors' failure to fulfill the responsibility, the grief of God has remained, as has that of Jesus.

The toilsome effort of God has remained, as has that of Jesus. The aspiration of God has remained, as has that of Jesus. Besides that, all of it has been extended even to the Holy Spirit.

Today, we have the responsibility to resolve the grief of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit that has extended throughout the history of 2,000 years. You must understand this.

The one who can dissolve the bitterness of the 6,000 years of lamentation hidden in the heart of God, who can represent the toilsome effort during 6,000 years, must emerge. The one who will manifest God's 6,000-year aspiration on this earth has to emerge from among us. The one has to be sought among us.

Now, when you step forth and stand before the wonderful grace of the Father or the grace of Jesus Christ, you should not consider the day you are doing it to be a beginning.

When you come to stand before the Father, you are not standing in your private capacity. You must realize that when you lead a life of faith, you are not doing it by staking your course of life; you are doing it while staking a 6,000-year history.

Even when you stand in a position where you repent for your sins before the Father, you must realize that this is not only repenting about yourself but also repenting for 6,000 years. When you have a grateful heart before the grace and love of the Lord, you must not think you are being grateful in a private capacity within a certain realm of time.

We must become those who can feel gratitude, representing the whole providential dispensation that the Father has been carrying on, the horizontal dispensation and the vertical dispensation, and a standard of fulfilled hope.

Similarly, Jesus has been wishing for the emergence of a figure on earth who will resolve God's grief, who will take on God's toilsome effort for God, and who can fulfill God's hope.

Jesus, who came to resolve the will of the Father as a substantial being, died with the fate of returning because he did not complete his work.

Therefore, Jesus will come again searching for you who are worthless, with a heart of sorrow that represents the history of 6,000 years. He will come searching for you, not only with the grief of 4,000 years but also with the grief of 2,000 years added to that. Furthermore, he comes not only with sorrow but also with the bitterness of the toilsome effort of 2,000 years.

What is the responsibility of humankind when Jesus, who will come seeking with the aspirations of 6,000 years, appears before us? It is for us to take charge of the heart of Jesus, the sorrow of Jesus, and the burden of the toilsome effort of Jesus as a substantial being in place of Jesus.

Because the Israelites distrusted and opposed Jesus, he went to die on the cross.

No one among the Israelites would know and trust, and attend to Jesus as the one who had come to resolve the grief of the 4,000 years of the toilsome effort of the Father. Therefore, to complete this task, Jesus has to return.

We of the final days, who have to liquidate the history of 6,000 years, must have the heart that can say, standing alone before the triune God, “Please entrust me with God's sorrow as my sorrow. Please entrust me with God's toilsome effort as my toilsome effort. Please entrust me with God's aspirations as my aspirations.”

And even though you are individual beings, you cannot help but become those who prepare for the day of Jesus' coming with a heart that says you can represent heaven and earth. You cannot but become Christians of such a world as this.

You who must prepare for Jesus' Second Coming must again reflect upon the life of Jesus Christ, who came and went. You must become those who feel the circumstances of the time of Jesus' birth, of the time of Jesus' life, and of the time of Jesus' death as those of their own.

You must own the same sense of responsibility as that of Jesus, who felt that it was his responsibility to redeem all humankind, holding the sorrowful heart of God.

You must own a heart that feels as if you are lying personally in the stable of Jesus, who was lying alone after being born in the land of wickedness.

What do you mean by saying that Jesus was born in a stable, although Jesus is the crown prince of Heaven? Naturally, if Jesus was filled with sorrow, the extent of God's eternal sorrow watching Jesus was beyond description.

Upon looking at these facts, you must feel your sorrow penetrating your bones. Besides that, you who are faced with the final days must feel the responsibility that you have taken on the mission that Jesus assumed. You alone are in charge.

We should be able to look upon it as ours: the circumstance of Jesus, who was in an unspeakably miserable situation, receiving cold treatment though he had come for the sake of all humankind.

If there had been a suitable person who could offer comfort to Jesus for his sorrow on this earth, Jesus would have wanted to reveal all of his hope to the person while holding on to him.

However, the Israelites, who had been chosen by God through the time and tide of 4,000 years, and the Jewish sects and denominations prepared for the sake of Jesus Christ, did not know who Jesus was. They had nothing to do with Jesus, who was lying in a stable in Bethlehem. This made God go through sorrow again.

No one took sides with Jesus.

Now, we must become those who will gather the bitterness of God and Jesus and dissolve it. Only then can we get rid of the condition of Satan's encroachment on our bodies?

Since you know that the Lord of the Second Coming will appear on this earth, representing the history of 6,000 years, you should please not stand in such a position as the Israelites did. Their faith was not centered on Jesus, not centered on the Messiah, and not centered on God. It was centered on themselves.

The Messiah was sure to come, and they knew about it. However, no one made preparations to attend the Messiah.

When the Magi from the East called out that they had come to worship Jesus, who was lying in the stable in Bethlehem, the whole of Jerusalem was disturbed.

Fortune-tellers from foreign lands had come to visit Jesus. However, a disturbance like this was not something pleasant.

All of you who have faith in God today should not stay in a similar situation as the Jewish church was in, which committed a mistake. Now, you should be able to make preparations for the sake of the coming Messiah, and you should not only resolve the sorrow of Jesus by yourselves, but you should also be able to return glory to him. Such a responsibility as this has been left to you.

These days, when you reach a sacred position where you can consult the Father, you will be given many commands, such as “Do this” or “Do that.”

When the Lord came on the earth, he would eat, he would wear clothes, he would stay somewhere, and he would be active. However, the Jewish people, who had been waiting for the Messiah to come, did not know about this and so did not wait for him and did not make preparations to attend to him. No one was waiting for him with even a single pair of clothes ready for him to wear.

If there had been someone who had made preparations with a sincere heart when the Magi from the East came to Jerusalem and when all the Jewish people were disturbed by the hearing of it, they would have followed the Magi and gone searching for Bethlehem. However, only the Magi from the East were on the road.

Our ancestors, who were following God and who were said to be doing the will of God, have left traces of sorrow in the sins they committed. You of today should not be standing in the same situation. You should be able to make preparations to be able to attend the coming Lord with your minds and bodies, within and without.

We of today, who are facing the final days, what is it that the Christians of the whole world must do?

If the Jewish people, who were wishing the Messiah would come, had prepared a place to stay when the Messiah was born, Jesus would not have been laid down in a stable. In the same manner, we must become the Christians who can prepare a place for him to stay when the Messiah is born.

You must not consider it a matter of happiness that Jesus was born in a stable, being wrapped in swaddling clothes. Jesus was the figure that all humankind together should have honored in the most glorious position, more than anybody on this earth, more than anybody in history.

He is the figure who should have been liked and praised by all humankind as the Son of God. Besides, he was Jesus, whom all humankind should have been proud of in the presence of Satan.

Then what would the sorrow of God have been like as He watched the scene where the Jewish people were not attending to Jesus? You must understand such sorrow as this.

Therefore, now, in place of the heart of God and having understood the sorrowful heart of Jesus 2,000 years ago, you must become those who will prepare gifts internally, without anybody knowing. The gifts of Heaven cannot be shown in the presence of Satan. That is why the most precious gifts never reveal themselves, as you notice in the Bible. Why? It should not be that someone knows about this first.

Only the one who must know should know about this first. If Satan knew about this first, he would retain a lingering desire for it. That is why it should not be revealed.

While you make the preparations for the sake of the Lord, who comes for the sake of the world, you will have to prepare a precious gift that is not found on this earth, which you cannot exchange for anything else on this earth.

For the Lord not to feel any difficulty either in his heart or in his body when he is present and active, you must find and prepare the foundation of attendance with your bodies. Why is this so? Because the most precious thing, more than anything else in this world, is your body.

Because he is such a precious figure and a substantial being who can substitute for the whole universe, when the son of the Father, the only-begotten son whom the Father loves, comes, you must establish a foundation of peace where he can rest forever. Then, by having your minds and bodies united into one when Jesus comes again, you must become the hands and feet of Jesus.

You must substitute for the life course of Jesus, and you must attend to Jesus so that he feels tranquility and comfort. You must become one who can fight the fight that Jesus carried out 2,000 years ago in place of you.

Jesus has been fighting for 2,000 years, so you must now be determined to take full charge of that fight with Satan and prepare even the shield to be used in that fight. Furthermore, while you identify with the situation at the birth of Jesus, you must at the same time feel the heart of Jesus while he was living on the earth.

Now, if you truly try to seek the Father, and if you seek Jesus' bosom of love, then you will shed tears. God could not divulge His sorrow, even while suffering for 4,000 years. Jesus lived with the substantial shedding of tears. Although only three or four such instances are recorded in the Bible, in actuality, there were numerous times when, unbeknownst to others, Jesus shed tears.

When God was looking down upon the Jewish people whom He had loved through the thousands of years of dispensation history, there was not one moment that He did not shed tears. Jesus shed tears every time he prayed before God.

Every time he encountered a difficult and lonely situation, he felt grief, with God on his side as the only one who understood him. Nonetheless, he could not reveal his sorrow to his disciples. You must understand this situation of Jesus.

It was not just one or two times that Jesus climbed the Mount of Olives and prayed through a sleepless night. He did not just pray in the Garden of Gethsemane once.

While he was traveling the path of hardships, Heaven was the only one in whom he could confide his mournful situation. Yet, he did not pray to place his sorrow on the shoulders of Heaven.

On the contrary, he prayed that he could single-handedly bear all the sorrows. He appealed, “Father! I am going to bear the grief that you feel as you look down upon me.

Father! Please comfort me! I am going to resolve your sorrow. Please do not be so sad.” What is more, he prayed, “Father, I will be responsible for the efforts of 4,000 years, so please do not worry. I am here. Please do not worry because your hope remains.”

Jesus kept sorrow inside as he grew up. This means that Jesus underwent grief ever since his childhood because people did not attend to him.

Jesus grew up as a stepson in Joseph's family. Although all the people in his town talked about him, he lived a life of reticence. Although he understood in his heart the great will of Heaven that could not be revealed, he grew up as a normal child.

You must not think that his life of thirty years as a carpenter was comfortable.

What a pitiful life it was! Jesus should have stood in the most lofty position among the Jewish people and manifested the joy and glory of the Father. Instead, he lived with a hatchet and a plane in his hands to help support the livelihood of Joseph's family.

If some sons and daughters want to uphold the will of God today, true sons and daughters who want to remove grief and bitterness from God's heart must consider the life of Jesus their model course.

If you want to fathom the life that Jesus lived, you must be moved deeply by the heart of Jesus, the amazing grace. Feeling that heart, you must enter the same difficult position.

Then, you will feel that the sorrow of Jesus has transcended time and life and that there was not even one peaceful moment in the life of Jesus.

Nonetheless, Jesus, who came for the sake of the earth, felt great anguish about channeling the sorrow that he suffered on earth toward Heaven. Today, those people who believe in Jesus commonly try to direct their crosses and sorrows to Heaven. We do not believe that Jesus did that.

The person who can say, "The sorrow of Heaven was caused by me, so I will bear it on my own shoulders. God, please do not worry," is the person who has become connected to the dimensions of Jesus' conviction and life.

Now, since there remain the footprints of Jesus' grief, which indicate that he lived the thirty years of his life in tears, you have the responsibility to resolve this. Jesus lived the thirty years of his sorrowful life and finally passed away while bearing the cross.

Yet, you must understand that even when he was crying out at the last moment, “Eloy, Eloy, lama sabachthani? (Father, why have You forsaken me?),” his heart was overwhelmed by the desperate desire to fulfill the will.

If you look at the world today with the mindset, “I am a friend of Jesus,” then you will not be able to look at this world without shedding tears. Jesus shed tears with every step he took and with every movement he made.

There was not a moment he did not shed tears. If there is someone among the faithful believers of today who sheds tears with a repentant heart before Heaven, just as Jesus did, then that person will become a friend of Jesus.

If, in each church and each family, there is someone who can understand the heart of Jesus and shed tears on behalf of God, then in those places, unlimited life and love will surely be present even without requesting God. You must understand that God demands this of Christians, that they connect with the situation, emotions, and the contents of Jesus' life.

Today if the Lord of the Second Advent comes to this earth, he will ask, "Have you indeed become a friend of mine, I who spent thirty years in hardships?" What is more, he will ask, "To what extent have you shared the anguished heart of God?

How many days have you lived to feel the sorrow of the world?”

You must understand that because humankind could not serve Jesus, who came to the earth, humankind made the condition to give Jesus over to Satan to be crucified. You must overcome this condition.

Why are we alive today? It is because before this body dies, before soil enters these eyes, we must become the people who fulfill loyalty to the full extent and cling to the life of Jesus in tears. We must become true people who can erect those things in the life of Jesus trampled upon. Therefore, while you are alive, you must fully accomplish this responsibility.

Therefore, to this day, you are not simply yourselves. You must not think that you are merely the person of the years that you have lived so far. You must realize that each of you is a person who bears the universal mission to consummate in your lifetime the dispensation of the restoration of God that combines the 4,000 years from Adam and Eve to Jesus and the 2,000 years since Jesus until now.

Thus, just as Jesus stood boldly before his enemies, you must also remain bold, even when you are suffering the tribulation of crucifixion. Even when you are shedding tears, you are not to mourn for your own sake. When you cry, you are not to cry for your own sake. If you are to cry, you must cry for the sake of Jesus. Then how happy Jesus would be, he who lives for your sake and thinks about you.

What is more, God will understand your situation. Even when you shed tears, you must shed tears with this kind of heart. There is no need for someone who cries for his own sake. Only those who cry for the sake of Jesus and the love of God and repent can become the sons and daughters of God.

When you confront the hardships of the crucifixion, if you truly feel the love of the Father and feel that you dwell within the realm of the Father's love, then you won't be able to pray. I have felt that before. Even when I bore on my shoulders a massive burden that seemed to weigh a thousand tons, I did not pray, “Father, please lighten my load.” You must never offer such a prayer.

God, who loves you, understands your situation very well. If you pray, “Father, I am bearing this kind of heavy burden,” to the Father who is already deep in sorrow, then you will add another load of grief to His anguished heart.

You are to understand even these subtle points and relate to God and Jesus. If there are even just a few people among these thirty million people who have this kind of attitude, then they can prevent this nation's grief. You must never shed tears because of your lamentations.

Although Jesus came to the earth with a universal mission, he suffered hardships throughout his life. Nonetheless, he did not pray to alleviate that anguish. Instead, he went through a great deal of trouble to console the wounded and anxious heart of the Father.

Meanwhile, Jesus took great pains to forgive the ignorance of the people. Because he stepped forward to substitute for the ordeals of God, whether he lived or died, he lived with the singular determination to glorify the will of God.

Jesus did not care whether God recognized him or whether people on earth recognized him. Whatever place and time, he lived for the sake of the will.

Although Jesus came to completely accomplish the will, he did not complain or despair just because he had to die on the cross. Even when he entered the position of death, he did not speak in his defense.

As you all know, Jesus did not try to vindicate himself even while he was passing through the court of Pilate, even on the hill of Golgotha, to be crucified on the cross. He was the champion of no self-vindication. He could feel that even the opposition that he received from the people was his responsibility.

We who believe in Jesus Christ must pass through the course of Jesus W, who was born, and Jesus, who lived, and then become his friend.

Jesus did not become a friend of life but a friend of death. Although countless people walked the path of death in the course of history, Jesus is the only one who became the friend of death on behalf of the deaths of all people. He died on behalf of all people.

Consequently, Christianity is the religion of death and sacrifice, and the Christian truth is the truth that prevails over death. Jesus' activities were to destroy him. Even then, you must understand that it was the course of Jesus to love without any grudges.

Because Jesus was a friend of death, even when death pressed itself upon him, he was not concerned about it. You have to understand that he lived a life with room to die for the sake of his enemy.

Overall, even God said to Jesus, who hung on the cross, “I do not know him.” At that moment, Jesus cried out, “Father, why have You forsaken me?” but he did not cry out because he feared that the hope would be shattered and all of his life would be in vain.

He cried out because he was concerned that, due to his death, he would have to leave without being able to complete the will of the Father. He was not concerned about whether God sent him to Heaven or Hell because he fulfilled his responsibility.

Jesus, who had to become a friend of death, tried to be content with his situation of death and tried to accomplish his mission through his death.

Although Jesus came with universal love, no one understood this. Although he came with such an amazing grace, once he stepped forward to become a friend of death, he did not harbor any lingering attachments. Though Heaven did not treat him as a being of hope when he had come for the sake of realizing the hope of Heaven, Jesus did not rebel or hold grudges.

When we go in pursuit of God, we will encounter the ultimate pass. Even if you were to pour out all of your heart and soul, eventually, there will come a time when Heaven will deny any knowledge of you.

The reason that Heaven does not recognize you is that the worldwide mission lies before us. Similarly, because Jesus also had to take charge of a worldwide mission, he had to undergo such an experience. A similar thing will also happen to you. There will come a time when, even if you remain extremely loyal and offer all of your life to cling to the Father, Heaven will not recognize you.

But you must be able to say that, dead or alive, the will of the Father is the only thing that matters to you. What is more, if you were to have any hope, you must only have the one hope of fulfilling the will of the Father. You should be the owner of the heart that says, “Not eating well and not wearing good clothes are joyful things.”

Today must believe in Jesus to enter Heaven. Those who believe in Jesus will go to Heaven. If you believe in Jesus to die a noble death rather than to lead a good life, then your faith will become extremely precious. The twelve disciples who believed in Jesus to gain a good life, where did they go when Jesus died?

You are not to believe for the sake of leading a good life for yourself. You must believe in offering your life as a good sacrifice; in other words, to die a noble death.

To achieve that, we must follow the example of Jesus' life. We have the responsibility to champion the life of Jesus on behalf of history. We have the responsibility to possess his life. Only when we possess the life of Jesus can we come to possess the love of Jesus.

Only when you attend to Jesus can you receive the love of Jesus. What is more, you must cultivate a faithful character that can resemble the 2,000-year suffering course of Jesus.

Not only that, since the dispensation of God was prolonged for 6,000 years, you can attend to the one who is to come to take charge of, and on behalf of, the 6,000 years of the dispensation. When the Father or the Lord appears before you, you must welcome the Lord and attend to him. This should not be limited to just one or two hours, but should last for eternity.

Then what must you do to attain the qualifications to become the bride who can serve the Lord? More than anything else, you must be able to be responsible for God's 6,000 years of sorrow and comfort Him.

Then you must go before the Lord of suffering and be able to say, "I will do this and that. I will serve you like this and that. I have prepared like this and that." You must have made universal preparation and say, "Lord, please come. Lord, please appear." Such a faithful believer will never perish.

Such a great mission lies before us. Yet, many people do not understand this. What is more, they do not understand that the internal heart and internal hope of Jesus revolve around each of us. What will happen to such people? Those who are ignorant will perish. There will come a time when they pound their oats in regret.

The responsibility of a son is to serve with the heart and mind, to attend with the body, and to attend by mobilizing society, the world, and heaven and earth.

Yet today, you cannot even serve God in your hearts. You must understand that you have not even begun attending Jesus yet.

You should remember that by attending with your heart, body, society, nation, world, and heaven and earth, glory will fill not only yourself but also your family, your society, nation, world, and the whole created world. You probably never even imagined that such a cosmic mission rests upon you.

You who bear this kind of mission and have gathered here out of the ordinary should not be small-minded. You also must not be biased or foolish. Even when you go before many enemies, you must remain bold and audacious. You have the responsibility to serve Jesus, who is to come with universal glory and love. You are the ones who must step up to the universal position with your heart and substantial body.

But there is no need for the Christians who prayed for their own sake and the sake of their families and were content with that. There is also no need for Christians who are content to be concerned only about their churches.

Even if every one of the thirty million people is a Christian, even if the whole of humanity is represented by Christians who can represent the people and believe in Jesus, there must be a representative Christian who can stand on behalf of the 2.4 billion people of humanity.

Suppose we are the qualified ones who can dominate over all the angels in the spirit world. We must be able to say before them that we have accomplished these kinds of valuable deeds. It is Jesus who came to do this very thing.

Jesus, who came to fulfill such a great mission, Jesus, whom we should attend with such utmost earnestness, how have we, who rest our hopes in Jesus, lived our lives? We are so shameful.

Even if we were to shed tears for 6,000 years because we feel such great shame, it would not be enough. Even if we were to pound our chests and lament for 6,000 years, it still would not be enough. We who are in this position must never be ungrateful.

Even if you were to die right now, even if you were to be stepped on and trampled upon, your heart of fidelity and loyalty must never change. You should be able to stand dignified before all things in the universe as the sons and daughters of Heaven.

You stand on a difficult road. You stand on the fateful road that you cannot choose not to travel on. You who stand on this fateful road must walk on it while maintaining your conviction and internal loyalty for the rest of your life.

You must shed tears. You must repent and mourn, “I was meant to serve the world-level Lord, the universal Lord, the Lord who can climb over the 6,000-year history and embrace the eternal ideal world. But until now, I was content just to serve the Lord of the family or the Lord of the people and the nation. That was all I could do.”

Have you ever thought that you would be the one to fulfill the ideal that the whole of humanity has been hoping for since the beginning of time, to the day that the ideals of creation are completed? Have you ever felt that sense of mission?

In addition, you must have the latitude of mind to pray, “I am confident that I am more than capable of accomplishing this kind of mission.” When you pray from this kind of position, you do not have to pray a lot. If there is someone who stands in such a position, it only takes one word, “Father!” for all to be expressed. There is no need for an explanation. There is no need for theories.

We have entered a position in which, moved by direct impulse, we must step forward without hesitation and attend before we are given the command to do so. We have come forward with this kind of treasure. You who have embarked right now, are you subject to some condition of accusation?

In your path, have you come to a stop and now stand stagnant at a certain stage?

During your life, what level have you reached? You must begin from the individual level and pass through the family, society, national, and world levels; you must reach heaven and earth. You must understand that such a cosmic mission rests on you. This is the only way that you can meet the Lord.

Jesus Christ must find a true person who can attend to him and, being unshackled from the sighs of 6,000 years, cling to him and shed tears of gratitude, saying, “Father, the one whom You have longed to find is here. Father! Please be happy.”

Heaven will give the glorious answer, “Yes, it is true.” The day when this takes place must dawn upon humankind.

You must never forget that you have to fight on until the day when you can receive the glory of such triumph, the love of the Father, and eternal life, when you can become the bride who represents all things, all forms, and the whole universe, the sons and daughters who can live eternally with the Father, sharing all His ordeals and happiness.
