Numbers 34
10 The eastern border will begin at Hazar-Enan in the north, then run south to Shepham, 11 and on down to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there, it will go south to the eastern hills of Lake Galilee,[b]12 then follow the Jordan River down to the north end of the Dead Sea.
The land within those four borders will belong to you.
Ezekiel 1
Whenever the creatures flew, their wings roared like an ocean or a large army or even the voice of God All-Powerful. And whenever the creatures stopped, they folded their wings against their bodies.
Let’s Be the Person Who Has the Heart of Jesus Christ
Sun Myung Moon
January 26, 1958
Centered on the passage of Scripture reading, “God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Jesus Christ,” I will speak on the topic “Let’s Be the Person Who Has the Heart of Jesus Christ.” Starting from that day when Adam and Eve fell, what could have been God’s hope? It was finding the person who can represent God’s Shim Jung, who has reached the completion of being a holy temple where God can dwell, and has the Shim Jung that corresponds with God.
Jesus Christ, who came on this earth as God’s substantial entity holy temple representing God’s will, is God’s holy temple that appeared in place of the providential course in which God had toiled during 4,000 years of history. At the same time, today we should feel that he was a man who appeared with a living heart in a substantial body representing the internal Shim Jung of God who had carried out the dispensation for 4,000 years.
Jesus’ Shim Jung
The body of Jesus Christ knew how to feel and experience God’s Shim Jung, and Jesus’ heart knew how to feel God’s Shim Jung. Therefore, Jesus’ leaping heart, by adopting Heaven as the artery and humans as the vein, should have formed all relations whereby Jesus moves when Heaven moves and Jesus gets emotions when humans get emotions. That was the mission of Jesus Christ who came to this earth. However, there was no one who could understand the internal Shim Jung of Jesus Christ who felt God’s Shim Jung, who could understand the external heart of Jesus who felt God’s Shim Jung. For this reason, the heart of Jesus Christ was a heart that had experienced loneliness of which no one knew for thirty years of preparation period.
Why did Jesus feel such sorrow? The reason is that, due to the fall of human ancestral Adam and Eve, the will of God, Who wished to enjoy glory through the attainment of the ideology of creation, did not become realized and all created things came to stand in a position of having lost their master. God who was looking at this came to feel inexpressibly lonely, because Jesus knew of God’s Shim Jung, Jesus also felt loneliness. Accordingly, you too should become the people who feel that the world of creation has become a world that is indescribably desolate like Jesus did.
What kind of life did Jesus, who had passed through the thirty-year preparation period, live after that? When he came to appear upholding the will for God and preach the new Gospel before the Israelite people, whom God chose and raised after having toiled for 4,000 years, his heart must have been overflowing with the indescribable sense of mission. You should not forget the fact that Jesus who, after liquidating the sorrowful life of thirty years by eliminating Heaven’s sorrow and grief, bore the mission to restore again the hero of the lost Eden, appeared with a pulsating heart that was expressible to none.
Jesus came to deliver the new words on God’s behalf, after having appeared before the chosen people of Israel, who had followed the will, who were called for in behalf of the will of providence. They had not prepared the environment in which they could attend Jesus as a man who represented the whole of an ideology, as a substantial entity of their hope, and as their glory itself. They instead emerged raising the standard of revolt before Jesus who had appeared with a full heart. In the same way that God felt sorrow because Adam and Eve, whom God had raised for His will, had fallen, when the raised, chosen Israelite people did not come to appear before Jesus venerating the will, Jesus could not but feel again the sorrowful Shim Jung that God felt after losing Adam and Eve. You should understand that.
Jesus’ Shim Jung, who was looking over the distrusting Israelite people, might have been limitlessly sad. His sense of indignation might have been great, too. He might have felt eagerly like giving orders to judge them, making appeals and curses before Heaven. However, casting off such Shim Jung in entirety, pressing down the throbbing chest and pulsating heart, Jesus endured and forbore, thinking of the Shim Jung that God might have felt after Adam and Eve fell from Eden long ago, and harbored a sorrowful Shim Jung. Furthermore, you must understand that Jesus had placed his hope in the Israelite people who were putting up opposition.
John the Baptist, who should have built the altar of atonement for the Israelite people or even the family of Joseph, who had been guided by the hands of God as the blood relative of the chosen people for forty or so generations after Abraham, disappeared. Mary, who bore Jesus in pursuance of the will and then nurtured him after birth for thirty years, his brothers and sisters and the clans, also, all disappeared.
Jesus’ Shim Jung said, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head.” (Matthew. 8:20) You should be able to feel and experience the pulsating heart of Jesus who had to carry out the fight, clinging onto the will of Heaven in lonely circumstances this hour. The more he came to know of the huge effort God had made, the bigger the feeling of fretfulness and indignation must have been. The greater the hope and expectation of the chosen Israel, the more serious the cutting pain, pierced with bitter resentment, in the heart of Jesus Christ must have been. You must feel the state in which Jesus’ heart might have been when he stepped out of the house, without uttering a word, bearing all this. You must understand that this is the very time when you must reflect, in a manner of awareness, to find out in what state is your heart pulsating today.
