Father! The Jewish religious bodies and many priests were people who said that they were establishing the standard of heaven by demonstrating the internal destined relationship of heaven in their lives and attending heaven on their own.
But we know the fact that about Jesus Christ, who appeared as the center of life, as the crystallization of life, as the center of love, and as the crystallization of love, they ignored him so coldly, and among the Jewish religious bodies which were spiritually responsible for the nation of Israel, there was not a single person who was on Jesus' side. When we think that that was the result of the 4,000 years of suffering of our indignant Father, we cannot help but face you with tears, Father.
Father! There was not a single brother who stepped forth to block the history of sorrow and enmity or cried out putting his life on the line by standing on the side of Jesus, who was filled with grief as he left on his final journey. And when we consider the fact that not even his mother said, "I'll go in his place," in relation to Jesus' path of death, we see that Jesus was truly to be pitied.
When we reflect on the fact that Jesus' end was so regrettable and tragic, we want to curse the nation of Israel and Judaism of the past with minds filled with enmity.
But Jesus did not curse them; rather, for fear that the realm of Israel, which God had gathered together by working so hard for 4,000 years, would collapse, he had to ask for blessings for them even while he was on the way to death; therefore, we absolutely must come to know the indignant heart of Jesus who had to do that.
We must earnestly feel that Jesus, who did not receive any sympathy even while on his way to death, was in the situation of a lonely orphan. We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to realize clearly that it is we, it is the Unification movement alone, that remains in this very historical age as the group in the position of having to become the friend of Jesus who was like that, having to become the relative of Jesus who was like that, having to become the religious body of Jesus who was like that and beyond that, of having to become the sisters and the bothers of Jesus who was like that.
Father! Today, when Christmas comes, many people are praising the fact and spreading the news from person to person that Jesus was the person who was born with the mission of the messiah who had to save all people.
But when we come to know the real situation, if we think that Jesus was a person who was born in such a lonely way amid historical sorrow, we must become people who weep, and who can comfort and weep over the pitiable nature and feelings of the sorrowful inner heart of Jesus who was like that.
Father! From the day that we came to know the Will, we knew that it was our responsibility to resolve the sorrowful grief of Jesus, and because we knew that we would have to resolve your sorrowful grief, until today we have gone forward fighting and have built up this Unification movement today. When we think of the fact that you can teach and reveal your full, sorrowful story like this, and for the first time in the history of the world there has appeared a destined relationship and a foundation that can listen to it, since we must not forget that this place is a place that can receive your hope, please do not allow us to forget that your heart is hoping to be linked here again.
