Jesus Christ, Who Went and Came and Who Will Come and Go for the Sake of Heaven and Earth

It is an undisputed fact that the reason God created all things in heaven and earth is that He wanted to become glorious. Consequently, He first created the invisible, angelic world. Then, as the symbol of the invisible, substantial world, He created the visible, substantial world. Thereafter, He created Adam and Eve as the center and representatives of the spirit world and the substantial world.

Adam and Eve should have shared the same fate as heaven and earth, as long as the universe remained unchanged. In other words, Adam and Eve had the fate to move according to the way that heaven and earth moved.

Accordingly, if Adam and Eve were to change, then heaven and earth would also change. If the center of Adam and Eve were shattered, then the center of the universe would also be undermined.

Adam and Eve were created with the binding condition that if the center of the universe were destroyed, as a result, the center of the Creator would also be damaged.

Because Adam and Eve fell, the center of the universe was out of line, and as a result, the center of the Creator was also put out of line.

Consequently, God had to set up another center of heaven and earth, and by having the created world become a harmonized center on that, He had to make the center of the Creator and the center of the created things become the same, not two.

When this can be done, the earth will rejoice as heaven is happy, and heaven will rejoice when the earth is happy. What is more, both heaven and earth will be eternal, and when heaven is intoxicated with unlimited love, the earth will also be intoxicated by boundless love.

As long as the fate of the Creator is not off the line, the fate of the created world will remain unchanged. Everything was ruined because the center of this created world, Adam and Eve, fell, and thus everything was not in harmony in their direction and center. The history of the dispensation purposes to restore all this.

Six thousand years of the history of the dispensation of restoration have passed, and we have arrived today. God's dispensation of love surfaced through many saints and sages.

While love was revealed symbolically through them, the substantial dispensation of love was demonstrated internally and externally through Jesus, who came as the culmination of the love of the whole.

Therefore, his heart represented the center of the invisible world, and his body represented the center of the visible, substantial world.

Because the Jewish people who should have recognized the identity of Jesus did not know him, God had to send him down the path of the cross. You have to understand that as a consequence, the whole of heaven and earth has sunk into darkness.

The only purpose for the coming of Jesus Christ was to establish the eternal, unchanging center of heaven and earth by cultivating the heart of the Father who created the universe. Jesus came to this earth to establish that center.

Jesus did not speak to set up some center for himself. He was not trying to establish the center for some district of Jerusalem or a village in Israel. He was trying to establish one center that could connect to the center of the whole spirit world and the center of the Creator.

His acts were not merely the acts of an individual. His wishes were not an individual's wishes. The battles he engaged in were not fought on the individual level. The goal that he hoped for was to stand firm as the unchanging center that can embrace the whole universe and all things.

Transcending all things and passing through the invisible world, he then purposed to reach the position in which he could represent the heart of God, the Creator. You must understand this.

You must understand the words, life, and actions of Jesus, who had such wishes. His actions were the embarkation points to build heaven and earth anew. The words he spoke had the power to recreate and realize that one will.

You must understand that in the thirty-year preparation period and the three-year course of practice, Jesus spoke words to re-establish the unchanging center of heaven and earth lost at the time of Adam and Eve.

Because the Jewish people did not believe in those words, Jesus, who was supposed to become the center of the spiritual and physical worlds, succeeded only as the center of the spirit world and failed to become the substantial center of the physical world.

What did Jesus live for until the time he went over the pass of the cross?

First, he toiled and suffered for thirty years after coming to the earth for the sake of the land, but his purpose was not to reap the harvest of his accomplishment on the earth. The one center, supposed to be realized on the earth by joining the spiritual and physical worlds, should have been completed within one substantial being, Jesus.

Because the spiritual and the physical were split, the body of Jesus, which was the center of the substantial being, was destroyed. You should know that, as a consequence, because only the spirit of Jesus was consummated in perfection, the 2,000 years of history from the resurrection until today have been the time when the dispensation of restoration was carried out, centering on the spirit world.

Jesus was resurrected after he passed away on the cross. After his resurrection, he worked on the earth for forty days before he went back to the spirit world. Similarly, the fact that Jesus passed away and then resurrected and ascended again symbolically demonstrates God's work of creation.

There is a verse in Genesis, “And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day” (Gen. 1:5).

Then there must be a night. The three-day period that Jesus spent in the tomb corresponds to the nighttime.

The thirty years of his life were the daytime. Jesus worked hard for thirty years to find and raise his disciples. After this toilsome course, the resurrection was like ushering in a new morning.

The resurrected Jesus tried hard to erect a lantern on this earth, but he could not do it. Although it might seem that he was resurrected to set up a lantern on the earth, in actuality, because he resurrected centering on the spirit world, he could not remain on the earth but went back to the spirit world.

What this signifies is that Jesus, who had ushered in the daytime after passing through the night, greeted the evening again and left for the eternal world.

Then what is left?

Nighttime is what is left. The eternal morning should have come when Jesus came, but because he passed away, a period equivalent to the evening remained again.

The responsibility for the nighttime was left unfulfilled by humankind. Because Jesus was forsaken, we have to take responsibility for that.

Just as Jesus completed the responsibility for the nighttime and established the standard of victory by winning over Satan on the cross, today, countless Christians who remain on the earth have the opportunity to cross the path of conflict in this nighttime.

When you cross the path of this nighttime, you will be resurrected by following the example of Jesus, and together with him, you will usher in the glorious new morning: the time of the Second Coming.

Jesus Christ came to this earth and lived thirty years of his life for the sake of this earth. Because Jesus came for the sake of this earth and the people upon it, even if people on the earth oppose him and say that they do not know him, he has to recognize them.

When Jesus passed through the Garden of Gethsemane and went toward the hill of Calvary, even the disciples left him. When Jesus was hung on the cross, there was not one who said that he knew him. None of the disciples said that he knew Jesus.

Although no one claimed to know Jesus because he came for the sake of the earth, he recognized the people on the earth who said that they did not know him. This was done when he resurrected and went to the shores of the Sea of Galilee looking for the disciples.

Likewise, Jesus left a path on the earth through which men can come to understand. After forty days, he ascended.

Now, because Jesus recognized us even when we did not know him, even if we live in a land that does not acknowledge him, we must recognize him. Consequently, during the 2,000 years after Jesus came and left, men have been seeking him in their hearts.

Just as Jesus came to the seashore looking for the disciples, to recompense for the grace of Jesus, the believers in the faith had to seek the path to Heaven that Jesus had followed for 2,000 years. This kind of lifestyle has continued until today. Now then, for what purpose did Jesus go to the kingdom in Heaven?

Because Jesus, who came for the sake of the earth, had to fulfill the will of Heaven; even after he went to the spirit world, he has been working until now for the sake of Heaven's will.

If Jesus, who came for the sake of the earth, goes to the spirit world and does not establish the standard of having recognized men after he already set such a standard on the earth, people cannot dwell in a world where they are not recognized.

So, for 2,000 years until today, he has been praying before God to set the standard of acknowledgment in the place where he was not recognized.

It is written that Jesus prays on the right side of God for the sake of men, yet what kind of prayer is he offering? He is offering a prayer of blood and sweat. If men on earth say that they know Jesus on earth, then when Jesus goes to the spirit world, he will say that he knows them.

Similarly, unless Jesus changes the situation so that he can say before God that he knows them, the spirit world that men go to is not acknowledged by the Father.

Therefore, ever since he went to the spirit world up to today, Jesus has been praying before God that he knows us. You must understand this well.

When Jesus comes back after going through this, how will he come? When he comes, he will combine the work on the earth and the work in heaven, and then come. He will come, taking on the responsibility for the work on earth and the work in heaven.

Therefore, today we must also walk the same course of suffering as Jesus until the day that Jesus, who resurrected from the dead on the cross and ascended to Heaven, comes again.

Moreover, at this time, which corresponds to the morning of resurrection after 2,000 years of night, when Jesus comes back having established the one center that Heaven welcomes, you should sense in your heart that Jesus is coming toward this earth.

Until now, our mentality of faith has been such that we have been looking up to Heaven and admiring Jesus. This has been the motto and standard of our faith.

Now there remains one thing we must adore. What would this be? We must adore the Holy Spirit, who is working for the sake of the earth. You have to understand this.

Many people have been loving Jesus spiritually for 2,000 years until now, but today they must also love the Holy Spirit.

We must reflect that we, the believers in faith, and all of humanity must do that. Similarly, the time has come when we must love the Holy Spirit and perfect the body of the bride.

Since the Holy Spirit is the bride of God, we must make ourselves up as brides and prepare ourselves to be brides and love the Holy Spirit. When this takes place, Jesus can go to the spirit world and rest. What is more, we are to create the one center of heaven and earth, and, centering on the earth, we must enter in pursuit.

We who have been longing for the spirit world in our hearts must now love the Holy Spirit, who is working directly with us.

Thus, by loving Jesus, who is the spiritual symbol, and by loving the Holy Spirit, who is the physical symbol, our mind that longs for the spiritual Jesus and our body that yearns for the physical Holy Spirit can become one.

Because of that unity, the center of heaven and the center of earth can finally become one within the mind and body of each of us. When done, Jesus can stand forward representing us, and the Holy Spirit can also stand forward representing us. We can appear to be representing the will of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and humanity.

You must understand this. With what kind of purpose does the Lord then come to the earth? You must create the center of Jesus and the Holy Spirit within yourself.

You who have a living, physical body must follow the example of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who symbolize the spirit world and the physical world, and become perfect as the substantial central being that combines the spiritual and the physical.

This central mission is the mission of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is returning to build this one center.

What should we do then, currently, to support the one providence? We should not merely think about how Jesus went to the shores of Galilee to look for the disciples he loved. Jesus Christ will not always come looking for you. Each of you is to become a bride and serve Jesus.

Because Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the center of heaven, you must become the center of the earth by defining a center within you around which your mind and body can become one. Thereby, you establish the one standard upon which you can be dealt with as one entity.

At this time, you are not just longing for Jesus. Now the Holy Spirit must find a body, and we are to look for Jesus on the earth and serve him in her place. You must find and build one such center.

Jesus, who desires this one center, has put the Holy Spirit forward and toiled for 2,000 years for your sake. Now you are to return your debt to Jesus.

Although Heaven sent Jesus Christ to the earth as the center who represented the spiritual and the physical and set the standard of completion spiritually, you must seek and serve Jesus Christ to bring to a conclusion the remaining physical dimension that is not yet complete. If you can accomplish this fully, then in your heart you can attend to Jesus, who has been working so strenuously until today.

Humanity must now go before Jesus and take after the mind and body of Jesus, as well as the mind and body of the Holy Spirit. They must then appear before heaven and earth and all things with confidence and become someone who can be proud before God for having raised themselves.

You must be able to take pride in yourself before Jesus and the Holy Spirit. What is more, you must be able to be proud of yourself before the apostles. By doing so, you can go before the Father and declare with pride, “Father, You who have worked arduously until now for 6,000 years! I am going to subjugate Satan, the enemy, for 6,000 years with my hands. So, Father, please trust in me and do not worry about Satan anymore.”

Moreover, you should have the attitude, “I have eradicated the grief caused by sin and evil, which has soaked all the gardens of created beings. So Father, please let this extricate all the lamentations bound tightly in heaven and earth.”

God could not rear and love His beloved children for 6,000 years. Although God wants to love us, He cannot sincerely elevate and love us. Although Jesus and the Holy Spirit can come to us and love us, God cannot love us until we believe in the words.

For this reason, we must represent Jesus. Erecting the one center, we must confidently pronounce, “Dear Father! I will be responsible for all the sins and grievances of men on earth. Father, You who have longed for a chance to love humankind for 6,000 years, please love me with the original love at the time of the creation.”

You must go before the Father yourself and say courageously, “Father! Please love me. Father! Please love me.” God's will behind the creation of heaven and earth can be realized in you through Jesus Christ only when this is done.

Jesus came for the sake of the earth and labored for the sake of Heaven. You must represent the whole world of creation and the unlimited spirit world and stand confidently as their central figure before Jesus, who has toiled for the sake of heaven and appeared as the center of heaven and earth.

Only after you do that can you take part in the world where Jesus will bring the bliss of heaven and earth.

Then God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and you can come together and live in a world of happiness. You must not forget this.
