Jesus Who Is To Establish Heaven's Love

The topic of the speech on which I would like to share my thoughts is “Jesus Who Is to Establish Heaven's Love.” I will briefly speak on this topic.

You know very well that because one eternal center could not be established on this fallen earth, the love that God wishes to find has not been established. God's purpose in creation was to accomplish a world of love where God could give and receive the sublime culmination of love in reciprocity with His creation.

However, because humankind fell by not comprehending this will of God, such a world could not be accomplished. Therefore, you must understand that the love of God has remained the standard of hope before all things in the universe and humankind.

Accordingly, the providential responsibility to find and establish God's love as a condition of the eternal ideal lies upon us, humankind today.

Although many human beings have lived on this earth until now, the standard that can satisfy God's eternal love and that can materialize the collective ideal of human beings is yet to be completely established. This love includes all created things.

Therefore, you must know that God has labored until now to establish that standard. From now on, until the day when the heavenly love connection left as hope for humankind gets formed and all things created sing in praise of that love as the eternal ideal, God must try.

Today, after 6,000 years of such a toilsome history for God, if someone received the grace to be able to feel God's love, that grace is not only meant for that individual being. That is the grace that is to be built by love.

All humankind, as well as the billions of faithful believers in heaven, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, can rejoice in it. Only then will all humankind rejoice together in unison, and the billion faithful believers in the heavenly world can be in harmony.

Similarly, when God's grace manifests itself as the love in which heaven and earth rejoice, in other words, after the love that is to be established is found, God will, for the first time, forget all His bitterness and sorrow and rejoice. You must feel this keenly.

Therefore, as long as their lives are sustained, living or dying, fallen human beings must usher in one central figure who is the condition of victorious destiny and the embodiment of immutable love. Only when such a central figure is received will the day arrive when God can rejoice.

Unless human beings realize this, the sorrow of human beings will last. As long as the sorrowfulness of human beings lasts, the grief in Heaven will continue. As long as lamentation remains in Heaven, God's sorrow will be prolonged.

The one center that is set up as the embodiment of love, eternally immutable in heaven and earth, is the root of hope that we human beings and all things are to meet. The figure, the root of that hope, who was sent as the central being to establish the standard of eternally immutable love, was Jesus Christ.

By the way, many prophets struggled to introduce Heaven's love during the 4,000-year history until Jesus appeared on this earth. Many sages toiled to make a connection to the standard of love that God tried to find, passing through a course of faith filled with indescribable exertion, tribulation, and suffering.

All of their efforts were made hoping for the one figure to come who is the center of all created beings who cherish God's love and desire to live within God's will.

Therefore, God chose to establish a tribe, a people, and a nation centered on such people. With these people, He made preparations to receive Jesus.

With the coming of Jesus, who represents the Israelite nation, the happiness in Heaven was extended to the surface of the earth. The hope of the land pervaded Heaven so that Heaven and Earth became able to undo the bitterness and resentment of 4,000 years and rejoice in happiness for the first time.

Jesus first had to experience God's love in his life. He then had to appear before all humankind as the embodiment of God's love. Jesus displayed, for the first time after 4,000 years, God's eternal love before all of humanity.

He was sent as love incarnate to undo the bitterness of 4,000 years. He constantly wished to meet one man who could link God's love to human beings. Jesus tried to find a gathering and a nation of such people.

However, because of the Jewish people's distrust of Jesus, you must understand that the will of God, which He labored for 4,000 years to fulfill, and the love of God, which He tried to manifest through Jesus' life, did not emerge. Jesus came to walk the hateful path of the crucifixion.

If the Israelite people had accepted Jesus as the Messiah representing God, as God's love incarnate, the substantial being of hope for which their ancestors had fought, bleeding for 4,000 years, they would have held on to Jesus and said,

“You are our hope, love incarnate of the eternal God, the figure who will undo the bitter resentment of heaven and connect that pleasure to us. You are the ancestor who will bond God's love to us.”

But there was no such response then.

All that Jesus saw, heard, and thought was to establish the victorious standard of love that could break down the walls between human beings and God, but there was no subjective being before him with such a mission.

That is why Jesus said, “No one knows me except the Father who sent me.”

These words are fraught with Jesus' anguish and bitter lamentation.

Human beings then were not aware that Jesus came to undo Heaven's bitter lamentation, that Jesus came to attest to God's love, and that Jesus was a man of love who came to make love flow from the world of all things to Heaven. They did not understand the will of Jesus.

Therefore, you must now become faithful believers who understand the situation where not only Jesus but also God felt sad because the Jewish people did not recognize Jesus and distrusted him. You must understand and believe it.

Otherwise, you will have nothing to do with God's heavenly love.

Now, when Jesus comes again in the last days, you must know what he will require. The Lord who comes again will be searching for a true man who can comprehend him, bearing the responsibility for the Jewish people's distrust of Jesus when he came 2,000 years ago as the center of God's love and the unified substantial being of the love that was to manifest itself. He will be looking for those who understand what Jesus wished for and who will fulfill his will together.

Due to the Jewish people's distrust, Jesus, who came with God's love, was put in a lamentable situation where he could not fulfill his responsibility. Such lamentable sorrow is not confined to Jesus only.

It was the sorrow of many prophets in history who upheld the decision to have faith in God. At the same time, it was the lamentation of God the Father, who is unfolding providence to realize the will of the creation ideal.

Jesus, who came to realize the happiness of spiritual beings in the spirit world and the ancestors and the happiness of God, came to die on the cross because of distrust. This caused more sorrow for God.

You must understand that this is the mistake that the Jewish people committed. The bitterness resulting from it lingers upon this earth.

What is more, we must be aware of the lonely situation in which Jesus prayed alone at Gethsemane,

"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will" (Matt. 26:39).

This situation is not confined to Jesus. Furthermore, the situation in which Jesus was crucified, embracing sorrowful Shimjeong, is not restricted to Jesus alone. His situation is our situation, and one in which humankind has to participate today.

The reason Jesus prayed and felt sorrowful was not that he was to fail anyone, nor was it because of his fate of having to cross the hill of lamentation. He worried about his responsibility to successfully reach the destiny of history, embracing the heartbreaking Shimjeong of heavenly love.

Looking at the human beings who were to usher in God's love upon the earth, he considered how he, who was sent to represent God's love, could have them become the substantiated bodies of God's love. He was also concerned about the fact that humankind has the fate of crossing the hill of grief.

You must understand that Jesus was not a man who felt sorrowful only for his own sake and experienced heartbreak only on his behalf.

What kind of men must we become?

Just as Jesus successfully fulfilled his mission to realize Heaven's love alone before Judaism, which had assumed responsibility for the 4,000-year providential history, you of today must give witness to God's love, stepping out in front of Christianity, which is taking responsibility for the 6,000-year providential history.

You must also become the true fellow worker of Jesus, who comes to build a world in which you will be happy and in harmony. If you do not carry out such a mission, the Lord will never be able to come. What is more, you must be aware that God will never be able to send the Messiah, centered on God's love, to this earth.

We inherited the blood of our ancestors, who betrayed the will of heavenly principle while walking down the 6,000-year course. If we again repeat our ancestors' guilt-besmudged course, how do you think the Lord will come once more to such a place?

Although Jesus of the First Advent, too, came as the center of cosmic love and as the central being who could make us inhale the love of Heaven, humankind at that time did not become his fellow workers. You must know that is why he came to be crucified.

Even if all hopes and faith vanish from the path that humankind walks, looking for the ideal of life, the path it has to take for the love that will last forever is the path of historical fate.

Therefore, although Jesus, who had come to guide humanity onto this path, died on the cross, the Holy Spirit took over that mission and carried on the work of the mission on earth.

How far have we come with guidance from the Holy Spirit?

We have come to the same situation where Mary could see Jesus, who rose from the dead.

To then seek God's love, which can embrace the cosmos, what do we have to do now?

Each of us has to become the bride of substantiated love whom Jesus tried to find in his time, who will fulfill the will of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That is why we wander around to restore the bride's name today.

In any case, each of you who must walk as the bride of the Lord, perform the duty of the bride of the Lord, and establish the standard of the bride of the Lord must not be content with merely believing in Jesus. You cannot establish the bride's standard with faith in name only.

Jesus is a historical figure. He is also the master of our lives now and in the future.

Therefore, unless you come to possess love with which you can make a connection with Jesus in such a position, even if you may proceed to the bride's seat where you can attend to Jesus in a certain moment, you cannot stand as the eternal substantiated bodies who can make life ties with Jesus and inherit the pulsation of God's love in unison.

For the faithful members, to seek Jesus' love is not to conduct the pursuit of love in the actual world that is under the control of time and space. It is to sing the value of God's eternal love in the world of heavenly love, which transcends history and time, and to establish the value of the eternal God's love to take delight in it. This is life-restoring.

When that happens, Jesus' sorrowful steps on the path of the cross on Golgotha and his cry, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” will stop for the first time. If there had been such true, faithful believers 2,000 years ago, Jesus could have stood up as the being of hope on this earth.

There was none among our ancestors who realized Jesus' hope throughout history until today. The whole purpose of God's having carried on the dispensation for 2,000 years since Jesus until now is to find and elevate a true human being who can console the Father in His sorrowful shimjeong, who can comfort Jesus' grief on Calvary, who can provide the Holy Spirit with comfort and console heaven and earth.

The person who comprehends the will of God in such a situation should step forward before God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and can press them to fulfill the task by asking, “Isn't this what You are looking for?”

Until such true, faithful believers emerge, the bitterness that has pierced the very marrow of God and the bitterness of Jesus and the Holy Spirit will not be dissolved.

As we recognize today that we live without establishing loving relations with God, what do we have to do? What effort do we have to make? We have to follow the path that Jesus walked.

We also have to put into practice the words Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments"
(Matt. 22:37-40).

You must understand that these words contain the ideal of love that is the vital logic of the universe, the ideal ideology of the universe, and the center of life of the universe. Therefore, you must be able to make a love connection with God, loving God by offering all things as said in these words.

Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all mind."

The cosmic representative who loved God with all of his disposition, with all of his heart, and with all of his mind was none other than Jesus. To receive recognition as the man who came forth with a will like this, Jesus frankly revealed the situation he was in to his beloved disciples.

Jesus was the man who employed his utmost for Heaven. He was the man who exerted all of his heart, his power, and his mind. The Jewish people then were ignorant of God.

You must emulate Jesus' virtues, such as the loyalty with which he, holding on to the great mission of the heavenly way, standing all alone in a swirl of things, showed great sincerity in his service to Heaven. He demonstrated the heart that exerted all, the mind that represented the will, and the nature that tried to make the ideal of love material.

In what line does such a nature act?

It acts in line with heavenly principles. In what line does the heart act? The heart acts in line with human relations that carry historical significance, and the mind expresses itself in living.

Jesus led his life appropriately, according to the rules of heavenly principles and human relations. By having gone through such a life course, he could make ties for the first time as the first human being with the love that is in accord with heavenly principles. He completed the historical course of humanity.

What is more, Jesus labored to bring God's love down to the realm of human life. In other words, he exerted all his disposition, all of his mind, and all of his power to bring the love that concurs with heavenly principle to the level of human relations.

Whom did Jesus represent symbolically? He represented the character of humanity.

In other words, he was the man in the same position as God, who is the center of heavenly character. Accordingly, the human conscience must move, centering on the original base of Jesus' character. What is expressed, centered on that conscience, is human action. This is the whole heavenly providence shown collectively to us.

The character is expressed through the conscience. Because the original base of the character is the root of conscience, if the original base of the character is revealed on the surface of the conscience, then it is not good. In any case, the character operates without interruption.

For example, although it may at first sight seem that the Earth stays still, in reality, it revolves around the Sun. The Moon revolves around the Earth. Similarly, the original base of the heavenly character and the conscience have the same relationship.

You must understand that all the words Jesus spoke are words that represent the invisible God. They were words that represented the comprehensive providence of heavenly principle that displays character according to the rules of heavenly principle and the rules of human relations, or heavenly character and the life-living character.

Although many prophets have walked the course of laborious effort to establish the heavenly way throughout 4,000 years of history, Jesus was the man who displayed God's nature more than anyone.

You must be aware that Jesus was the first undefiled fruit, the fruit that displayed God's character. No one had ever demonstrated that throughout human history.

Many people before Jesus' coming had led their lives centered on the conscience to establish ethics and morality on this earth.

They became able to offer an undefiled sacrifice before God for the first time in 4,000 years by meeting Jesus, who established the standard of supreme conscience that Heaven wishes. The will revealed in Jesus' gospel was to coincide with and fulfill the will of God.

When you look at his blood lineage, Jesus inherited a blood lineage that could not be seen in any of the people in history. It could not be seen anywhere. Therefore, we Christians who intend to walk the path of righteousness toward Heaven must consider such a fact carefully and bear the collective responsibility.

You must understand that in every moment of his life, Jesus showed intrinsic attributes centering on God's love. Even when confronted with a trivial matter, he dealt with it, assuming the form of an immutable crystal that can represent a great matter.

As you reflect upon Jesus' life of thirty or so years, what do you think he did until he died, offering all of his life? You must understand that Jesus was the man who left after having come as an unprecedented, undefiled sacrifice offered to God.

He represented history in the aspect of the character that human beings must build and also in the aspects of his heart, mind, and activities.

We who believe in Jesus, who move according to the will of Jesus, who have decided to emulate Jesus' heart and seek Jesus' nature—how many days have we functioned for the sake of the will?

How much have we exerted ourselves for the Father with all our heart, our mind, and our character? You must reflect upon yourselves over these points.

You will want to live according to the original heart's direction that springs up from the bottom of your heart and to make the character of Heaven's heart our character.

If so, you must represent the will of the heavenly principle by establishing this will, which is revealed through your character and heart. Incidentally, until now, nobody has borne such a mission, and that is why God has grieved.

Now, if you keep in mind that the mind has to be for the heart and character. Your heart should move toward the will of the heavenly way.

If you have a character, then based on that character, you should be able to represent the whole seongsang of God and form a character that can carry out cosmic love in practice.

You have to follow the example of Jesus, who led a life of sincerity without rest, centered on God for thirty or so years, the substantiated body of undefiled sacrifice representing history and the cosmos.

He was the standard of cosmic love. The reason Jesus tried to move forward toward the way of the heavenly principle was by establishing the rules of the original nature in human relations. The reason he exerted all of his heart, his mind, his nature, and his power was to own God's love.

The reason Jesus could carry out the fight against Satan by establishing the wholesome standards of goodness and righteousness, representing all humankind even in heaven, was because his mind and body accomplished perfection as the substantiated body of goodness through his earthly life. He exerted his nature, his mind, and his power.

Therefore, you, too, must exert all of your heart, your mind, your nature, and your power to unite with Jesus. Only then, for the first time, can we stand in the position of an object to Jesus.

Then, through linking Jesus' power to us, we can feel God's love. Therefore, we must become a sacrifice that is to be offered to the Father through the exertion of our nature, our heart, our mind, and our power.

As Jesus was offered as an undefiled living sacrifice that God could take with delight, you, too, must offer yourselves as an undefiled sacrifice to Jesus.

What is more, you must fulfill the duties of human relations and heavenly ways in your daily lives during your lifetime and feel the pain of Heaven, representing Christ, who came to this earth to accomplish the will.

You must become the bride who, by experiencing the Shimjeong of heavenly love that Jesus had, will understand Jesus' situation where he was rejected by the religious denominations and had to go see pitiful and poor people. If you become such people, you can undo God's bitter resentment and simultaneously dissolve the grievous lamentation of Jesus Christ, who came to save human beings.

Jesus of love came to see the people on this earth, who were immoral and traitorous, and had to discuss his ideals with them.

Therefore, we who have ancestors who betrayed Heaven must go back up the course on which they betrayed Heaven and be able to say, “Father's will is this, isn't it? Please take this offering from me.”

You must know that God is searching for a man who can be offered as the sacrifice of undefiled matter, who can step forth representing history like this. The likes of this no one has ever touched or seen.

Even if you exert your nature, your present nature is one that used to be accepted in Satan's world. Even if you exert your heart, it is used to exchange whispers with Satan.

The same applies to your mind. Therefore, you who are faced with the last days will surely have to transform your satanic nature and heart. You must change your viewpoint on life and your concept of the cosmos.

That is because with the viewpoint of faith you have had so far, you cannot win over Satan. You cannot pass through the stage trapped under Satan's accusations.

First and last, Jesus died on the cross as the sacrifice of an undefiled lamb. This is how he introduced his nature, heart, and mind to human beings on this earth. Jesus was the man whom God could consider worthy, whom God could call righteous, and whom God could be happy with and love as the representative of all people in history and for all things.

You may sometimes feel Jesus' nature, which cannot be subjected to Satan's accusations and cannot be possessed by Satan. If you have experienced such a feeling, then you can fathom Jesus' heavenly character.

If you also fathom such a heart, you will understand Jesus' internal situation. If there is a man who can see through Jesus' character and his internal situation, then God can grant him the power of authority.

People do not know there is a great historical focal point of the cosmos to be found and a cosmic barrier station to be passed through. Therefore, since there remains the desire of Jesus that he be offered as an undefiled one, the problem now is how we Christians will attain that desire.

For you to find this desire today, you must awaken to being deficient in the past and be contrite about it before God. When you repent, you must shed tears again and again, and you have to have the heart that can replace Jesus' tears, which were shed during his lifetime of thirty years or so.

You must follow the example of Jesus, who single-mindedly exerted all his power, sleeping or waking, eating or starving, to establish the one will. You must feel the sad Shimjeong of Jesus, who had to walk the path of death.

You should be aware of the fact that Jesus led a life in which he shed tears of repentance for the sake of the human beings who did not have faith on this earth.

Further, he is still shedding tears, even in the spirit world. You will still feel insufficient even when you can feel Jesus' internal Shimjeong when you can comprehend the internal ideology of the heavenly nature, and when your tears are shed after learning about the internal background of Jesus' life, they saturate heaven and earth.

When you have inherited the heartbreaking Shimcheong, tears come to gather in your eyes and your bones and muscles melt into each other; you can manifest all of Jesus' love and character, welling up from the bottom of his nature, his heart, and his mind. From that point on, you can unite into one centered on heavenly ties with Jesus.

If you are people who feel such Shimjeong, you will feel grateful to Jesus, who saved you from the pit of death. You will still feel insufficient, even when you fill your minds and bodies and heaven and earth with that feeling of gratitude.

How sad was Jesus?

You may not know this very well. Jesus came to undo the sorrowful feeling that God felt while He was losing Adam and Eve, the feeling of heaven and earth collapsing.

He was also to carry out the will, representing God, to restore human beings. When he realized he could not fulfill the will for which he had been sent, Jesus felt the same feeling of sadness that God felt when losing Adam and Eve.

Human beings today, who must liquidate the historical, heartbreaking lamentation, have forgotten how to feel sad even after they lost God. They have become people who do not know how to feel sorry, even after they lost Jesus, the bridegroom.

What is more, they have become ones who do not even know that they have the responsibility to console God in His sorrow. If you, too, stay in such a situation, God will not be manifested, no matter how much you may call out to the Father, standing before God's providence.

You must understand that what Jesus said is not idle words. If there is a man who exerts his heart, his mind, and his nature like Jesus did, truthfully saying, “My Father,” toward God, then Heaven will be moved.

Therefore, you must become the true sons and daughters who can console God by going beyond history, experiencing the Shimjeong of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and, at the same time, the sorrowful Shimjeong of God, who had a deep sense of regret 6,000 years ago.

You must understand that only when you become people like this will you be able to materialize the love Jesus cherished on this earth.

Today, you face Heaven with too individualistic a value concept and a distorted view of life. If you become beings who truthfully exert all your heart, all your mind, all your nature, and all your power, the Father will come to see you, though you do not call out to Him. The Lord will come and hug you without you calling out to the Lord.

If you feel the Father's love in such a position, the whole of your mind and body can reach a place where it gets intoxicated with that love and finds delight.

Besides, only after you understand such love of the Father and His Shim Jung will you, too, become the beings who resemble God in the same way a magnet attracts iron.

You can then accomplish the ideology of the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus, who appeared before all humankind on this earth as the substantiated body of love through the ties centered on love, wished to accomplish.

If there had been a mere three people like that, the history of the complete restoration of humanity could have started at the time of Jesus.

If there had been a mere three people holding on to the words of Jesus to love him more than anyone, who could represent the laborious God of 4,000 years, who raised Jesus and could represent Jesus and the Holy Spirit, Satan would have caved in automatically.

If three such people had gotten together, believed in Jesus, and followed him, ready to risk their lives for the sake of God's will, this would have happened.

That is why Jesus called three disciples to raise and teach them about things of both difficulty and happiness. However, the ignorant disciples did not understand that Jesus had the will to establish in the human world such a heavenly principle representing the history of the triune God.

Therefore, you must have wisdom. You should acquire wisdom and knowledge about God's providence and become aware of the content of the heavenly secrets.

You should not stand in a similar situation to the disciples, who did not understand Jesus' deep thoughts even while following him.

We must become the people who can save Heaven's honor by giving our lives before the church and the will that called upon and chose us. When that happens, the Kingdom of Heaven can appear on the earth for the first time.

The enemy, Satan, can automatically be subjugated on the earth. Wishing that the sons and daughters who can share pleasure and pain alike with God and can monopolize God's love would appear and become able to receive bows even from Satan, the triune God has unfolded the dispensation, and the many prophets and sages have walked the course of labor.

Therefore, there has to emerge a substantiated body of character who will let the billion faithful believers in heaven and earth and the heavenly soldiers and angels subjugate Satan, having the Heaven-revering nature at the center.

Singing in praise of Heaven's glory, he can mobilize all of them on the earth for the work of providential restoration.

You must keep in mind that we must materialize the desire and love of Jesus, who exerted all of his nature, all of his mind, all of his heart, and all of his power. Only then can we live in the realm of God's eternal love, in which we cannot but be happy.
