What is the relationship between
Jesus and True Parents? Jesus is in the
position of the Son, while True Parents
are in the position of the Parents. I have
said that Buddha is my disciple, Jesus is
my disciple and Confucius is my disciple.
Spiritual people can know everything if
they pray. Wait and see. The Unification
Church will be the center of religious
unification in the end, correcting the
standard for presidents, prime minis-
ters, and all the proud politicians of the
nations. This is my work, to accomplish
this not by force, but by natural submis-
sion. (211-312, 1991.1.1)

On the day we are victorious in the
Blessing of 360 Million Couples, the
unified world of the realm of heart will
emerge on earth, encompassing the
whole world, and the families who live
in this realm of heart will be like Adam’s
perfected family; they will live in God’s
Kingdom on earth and when they pass
on, they will enter His kingdom in the
spirit world. In such a manner, the gates
to heaven will be opened. (288-328, 1998.1.1)

Who Will Become the Friend of Golgotha?
Rev. Sun Myung Moon

What then is the sorrow of Jesus, who came with God’s will? What were his mistreatment and anger? What was his utmost pain? You should know that the greatest sorrow for Jesus was the Shim Jung he had when he could not complete what he wanted to say, give life completely, leave behind the joyful ideal, and share heavenly love. He knew he carried the heavenly word overflowing with life, the ideal and love.
Throughout the thousands of years of history, God tried to have our ancestors assist Heaven, but they betrayed Him in every age. Thus, we should feel and know that since we have such ancestors, we in the last days are standing at a great crossroad in which we may easily become historical and cosmic betrayers again. Jesus was sent to the Israelites as a promise, after thousands of years of effort from Abraham to Moses. The Israelites were chosen as the center of the word, life, the ideal and love. Yet the chosen people, who had waited and prepared for the Messiah, standing on their historical merit, were unable to serve him. Jesus was to be served as the hero of history, for whom countless ancestors had hoped. Yet there was no one to serve him.
We should not allow Jesus to be born in a stable. At that time, there was a prophesy that the Messiah would appear in Bethlehem. Yet there was no one who waited for the Messiah, who might appear without warning, with even a small hut prepared. When Jesus was born, the whole of Jerusalem was in commotion. The rumor spread quickly that Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Yet no one prepared for his birth in Jerusalem or in Bethlehem.
Today’s Christians should think again that Jesus, the prince of Heaven, the Messiah, was pitifully lying down in a stable. Since the chosen people did not recognize Jesus as the Messiah who would speak about and witness to Heaven, today they cannot stand before Heaven. The Messiah needs clothes to wear and a house to live in on earth. Among all the religious believers at that time, especially the Pharisees and Sadducees, there was no one who even prepared one room for the Messiah.
We should be deeply sad looking at the sin of our ancestors, who followed Heaven so recklessly. To not repeat the historical error, we should listen to the worries in our heart and plead with Heaven. After 4,000 years of preparation, who would have imagined that what happened to Jesus would occur! Where did the 4,000 years of effort go? The chosen people and Jerusalem were deep in sleep, aware of nothing, when Heaven sent the only chosen son of the promise. They bragged about their religious order and wished it could replace the sovereignty. The fact that Jesus appeared to such a people is a story that stands between humankind, who has to face God’s will, and God, who is carrying out the providence. You may not know this.
