Father of love! We thought Jesus came to earth solely to find us, but that was not all he came for.

1

Father of love! We thought Jesus came to earth solely to find us, but that was not all he came for. We thought he came for the sake of our families, but that was not all he came for.

2

And we thought he came for the sake of the chosen people of Israel, but that was not all he came for. Neither did he come for the sake of any one denomination.

3

We have come to understand that Jesus was simultaneously the hope of the created world and the representative of its entire value. Father, what is the state of our mind today about Jesus, who had the mission to restore everything?

4

Please do not allow any of us to become people who die clinging to their family. Please do not allow any of us to become people who die clinging to their people, their nation, or their world.

5

We earnestly hope and pray, beloved Father, that You allow us rather to become people who can live risking our lives for the sake of the life and death of the cosmos, that is, people who represent heaven and earth in life and death.

6

Please grant that no outcries of lamentation among the things of creation remain, due to the failure to accomplish the restoration through Jesus. If such laments remain, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that You allow us to become true sons and daughters who can resolve this, to bring You and Jesus relief, and to penetrate Your heart through an eternal relationship with You.

7

And please work together with us, Father, that we may resolve all historical sorrow and that You may receive the comfort of that liberation. Furthermore, please grant that we may go forward together with you.

8

We earnestly hope that you allow us to become true dutiful sons and daughters who can forget everything and praise Heaven. I pray all these things in the name of the Lord. Aju! (March 23, 1958)
