The Meaning of Understanding Me
Because John the Baptist, who should have testified to the will of Heaven, did not complete his mission, Jesus stood on the threshold of an arduous fight with Satan.
The Jewish people, who should have understood about Jesus, did not understand him. Jesus, who was being pressed by Satan to walk the path of tribulation and who was standing alone even though every being in heaven and earth should have recognized him, tried to communicate the will of Heaven to the people, who did not understand it.
Jesus realized he had the mission to reveal what he knew internally to the ignorant people. He set himself before humankind and, relying on the comforting thought that at least God understood him, he stepped forward to proclaim the new resolution, the new hope, and determination to the people. Today's speech is important since it deals with this content.
Man's happiness is generated by having someone who understands him. If he has a friend, a comrade, or a teacher who knows about his past and understands even his future, he is a happy person.
Moreover, the place of rest for a person is built around the bosom of these people. The person feels happiness and fulfillment in the environment that they are in.
Jesus knew that God in Heaven understood him about history, about the thirty years of his life, and the eternal will of the dispensation. Just as God recognized him, Jesus was supposed to understand humankind through history, through their lives, and into the future.
Jesus was aware of this mission. The more he felt that it was indeed he who had to make them understand God, the more he felt he had to testify to the people about God in any shape or form.
Jesus Had to Show that God Recognized Him
Jesus had to prove that, in the will of God, he was the person who represented the unbreakable relationship with the 4,000 years of the course of the dispensation.
Jesus felt responsible for guiding the Jewish people to God in the same way that God recognized Jesus about the dispensation 4,000 years ago. He tried to reveal his understanding of God in his life course.
Moreover, when he learned that during the dispensation that would follow his thirty years of life, the whole of humanity was to become one with his ideals of the future, Jesus felt that until he reached the ideal world in which humankind would understand him, he had the compelling responsibility to reveal the will to them.
When we consider the events that have taken place in the past and present and are to take place in the future in the eternal heavenly world and on the earth, we realize that Jesus' mission was not limited.
When we consider how there remains the unfulfilled history of the dispensation, in which every existing being must reach Jesus through an unlimited period, we see that the mission of Jesus was not limited to just revealing this dispensation to Heaven, to the countless saints, and the historical ancestors.
Jesus, who stood before the will representing the whole, had to recognize the people on behalf of God in the same way God recognized him. He had to teach the people that, just as Jesus acted for God, they had to represent Jesus.
What is more, unless he builds a relationship with people in which they come to recognize him as Jesus recognized God, Jesus cannot feel the joy of knowledge in his life. You must understand that though Jesus could obtain joy from God in Heaven, he could not be happy because the people did not understand him on Earth
The words that Jesus spoke did not just ask the people to understand Heaven. The gospel that he spread was not only for the sake of Heaven. All of his words, toilsome deeds, and arduous fights were done for the sake of the people of history and the people of the future who were to guide history forward.
However, the people who came in contact with Jesus in his time did not know that. If the people on the earth had understood Jesus as Jesus understood God, then the life of Jesus would not have been intertwined with such great sorrow.
The Extent to Which God and Jesus Understood Each Other
To what extent did God understand Jesus? How did God understand Jesus?
God understood Jesus from the beginning of the history of creation, through the history of humanity, through the relationships in history, extending to include all the society of his time, even to the future ideals of Jesus.
Jesus, who appeared before the ignorant people, raised himself and exerted himself after receiving the directives from Heaven. Moreover, he continued in the battle, deeply bound up in the sorrowful heart of God, who has suffered an infinite number of ordeals in the course of history.
Furthermore, he comforted the ancestors who had exerted themselves in the course of history. He tried to remove all the bitter resentments that had soaked through the course of history. God anointed Jesus to be this kind of man.
Jesus' heart reached out for the sake of Heaven. He had a desperate desire to convey that heart to humankind. As long as Jesus had such a fervent, unfulfilled desire, God, who was watching him closely, also felt the same anxiety. We must understand that because humankind did not fulfill its responsibility, God is living in anguish and sadness.
To what extent, then, did God understand Jesus?
God understood him as someone who could manifest the glory of children through the ideology of the bride and bridegroom, centering on Adam's family.
Next, how much did Jesus understand God?
While he knew that God recognized him as the representative of history, he also knew that God wanted him to manifest on the earth the doctrine of the bride and bridegroom and the glory of goodness, from his family life centering on Mary to his actual life course. Consequently, his words had the power to alleviate the grief and suffering of history.
Jesus understood that God knew the obedience of Mary. He also knew that God understood the personal situation of Mary. He also knew that God hoped for faith in the bride and bridegroom to start paving their way from the lowest position.
Moreover, he also knew that God expects goodness among the countless created beings. The will of love that Jesus possessed could have consummated a relationship with humankind only if they had inherited the knowledge of God from Jesus.
This is the reason that Jesus could have discussions with God but not with humankind. You must understand that since no one on earth could reveal the knowledge and grievous feeling of Jesus and the dispensation of restoration on the earth, the sorrow of Jesus was greater than the sorrow of losing the whole universe.
Love Is to Reach Perfection Through Three Eras
If love cannot be perfected in one generation, then it takes three generations. At first, through the love of Heaven, it passes through the love of parents, and then the love of the couple. We are walking the course of restoration because of the fall and the mistakes that are being repeated by humankind.
Therefore, in one's life, the time until one becomes an adult is the time to receive the love of parents. After that period has passed, the period of love centering on oneself is the time of the bride and bridegroom. Next, the time of love that involves children comes.
God has been guiding history for 6,000 years. What period of love then was the time until the coming of Jesus? It was the time when, as parents, God personally gave love through Jesus. Thereafter, the period of the bride and bridegroom is the time when we build a family life.
What kind of era will come next?
It is the era when the ideology of the bride and bridegroom bears fruit on the earth. By doing so, Jesus has to carry on the expectations at the family level, centering on the will of God on the earth.
To achieve this, the life of the spiritual bride and bridegroom should unfold on the earth first. By unfolding the spiritual family life of Heaven on the earth, the form of a family representing history has to be constructed.
Today, after passing through 2,000 years since Jesus, heaven and earth must be combined. The internal and external forms must be brought together to form one substantial body and forge a relationship.
You must become new parents and children, centering on yourselves. In the period of parents, you must be able to produce new children. Through the new children, the new ideology of the bride and bridegroom must be established on the earth. Such an ideal remains unfulfilled in the course of history.
The Purpose Behind the Coming of Jesus
What is the purpose behind the coming of Jesus?
He came to bring to a conclusion the internal form of the family, the external ideology of the bride and bridegroom, and the life of children.
After completing the reciprocal standard, not only on the external foundation but also by connecting the external and the internal, the fortune of Heavenly laws would enable anyone to pass through the historical course of restoration on the family level, through which they can start from the internal and establish one standard.
Through whomever it might be, you must establish the form of family life, not only as a realistic and historical phenomenon but also as a conclusive fact, until God and Jesus raise you.
If you do not possess the demonstrative content of the course of the bride and bridegroom, which Jesus has been working on for 2,000 years, centering on the New Testament, you cannot confidently claim the standard of the bride and bridegroom.
Leaving the earth, the substantial child of goodness in whom you can dwell eternally if you can become a child, not of shame, but one who has escaped the history of sin and whom Satan cannot accuse, you will be able to discover the hidden secrets of Heaven. By establishing yourselves, you can receive the love of God, carry on discussions with Heaven, and have a relationship of giving and receiving with Heaven.
What is the purpose of Jesus, in whom you believe, and whom God recognizes?
What is the extent to which you understand Jesus?
You should not think that the bride and bridegroom are manifested only in Jesus and the Holy Spirit. If you cannot leave behind the foundation of victory and eternal life that can bring eternal salvation through the substantial love of the family and the internal family, then the ideals and hope of Heaven will have no relationship with you.
Furthermore, that can become the possession of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, but it cannot become yours.
Therefore, when you come to understand, you should not stop at just understanding him. If there is someone who can enter into a harmonious relationship centered on Jesus, then, as the son of God who recognizes Jesus, he will be on equal footing with Jesus.
He can proudly appear on the earth representing history, the present work, and the future. If such a being emerges on the earth, then he is the one who understands the history and the dispensation of Jesus and can represent the world for which Jesus hopes.
To become such a person, you must be grateful to God, regardless of what kind of condition is imposed on you. In any kind of environment, you must not lose hope.
Jesus realized that he needed to arouse the love and hope of God, which is stronger than anything else that he loved.
Therefore, even when the environment and history changed and heaven and earth were thrown into confusion until the last moment, all Jesus thought about was humankind. He tried to forge an unbreakable relationship with humankind to represent eternal life and the heart of the center. Therefore, he could say, “Cross, come to me. Death, also, comes to me.”
If you do not experience this kind of feeling throughout your life, then even if you claim you know Jesus, it is the same as not knowing him. Therefore, you must now represent the general form of the history of the dispensation, the history of the whole, and eternal history.
You must forge a relationship that can penetrate the active and passive hearts of the eternal God. By doing so, you should relieve the grief that permeates throughout history, and appear before humanity.
If you cannot appear as such a person, then you cannot call yourself the child that Jesus seeks and God recognizes. However, if there is such a person, even when he is eating a meal, every time he puts down the spoon, he will thank God. In every breath he takes, he will feel the love of God.
The Child Whom Heaven Recognizes
Just as the fortune of heaven and earth turns silently, our minds wish to turn without limits. Why is this not being done? It is because we are not aware of the fact that the forces and love of the universe and the principles of Heaven are connected.
Therefore, now we must come to understand Jesus in our lives in the same way that Jesus understood God. Moreover, just as Jesus understood the grief of God and returned glory to Heaven, we must have the determination to follow Jesus to return glory to Jesus.
If we do not know Jesus, when Jesus follows God and understands His heart of love, how would Jesus realize his fate-filled wishes? You must think about this today.
Today, you might say that you are living for Jesus in certain moments. You must exist for the sake of many nations and peoples. Until the final days of history, you must eternally feel that trend and the heart of Heaven. As the master of creation, you must sing the glory of Heaven and return glory to Heaven.
If this is the wish of Jesus, then you must return glory to Heaven for him. By doing so, you can materialize this dream-like event in reality that is not a dream. God wishes to bring that will to a conclusion.
The wishes and demands that have been kept inside the hearts of God and Jesus are being manifested through you. If there is someone who can truly believe in Jesus, by connecting with the heart of Jesus, seeking the internal heart of Go, and becoming the representative of God and Jesus, God will recognize him as He has recognized Jesus.
At the same time, Jesus and the Holy Spirit will also recognize him. What is more, the Heavenly soldiers and angels who are connected to Jesus and the Holy Spirit will also recognize him. However, people do not realize that such glory is the true grace.
To Return the Glory of Victory
Jesus was recognized only by God, but we will be understood by God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, as well as the countless saints in heaven. Therefore, if you can understand on earth the God of Heaven, then through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, you will win the recognition of the spirit world.
Accordingly, you should stand within the sphere of recognition and come to grasp the heart of God, who has been guiding the dispensation for 2,000 years through Jesus.
God's philosophy of the dispensation must be demonstrated through you. When we consider that, we can see that we are truly blessed. We are more blessed than Jesus as he headed toward the cross.
Jesus died a lonely death for the sake of God. However, we should be able to die for God, and even for Jesus and the Holy Spirit. By doing so, we must become people whom the millions of faithful believers can welcome and support on our path.
You must be able to say, “I have been awakened to it, so Father, please guide us so that today we can comfort the countless faithful believers.” When you do that, you can represent the whole of God's dispensation and bring out the glory of victory.
