This is why you are to become fil-
ial children in the family. Next, you are
to become patriots in the nation. From
the time of their birth, loyal subjects or
patriots do not stray from their duty.
They must proceed, remaining focused
night or day. Throughout my life, wheth-
er asleep or awake, I never lost my focus
on God’s will. Rising from my bed, I
keep going. For a thousand years and
even ten thousand years, I keep going.
It is because I have gained this kind of
victory that I am able to tell you that,
even if you had been unable to fulfill
your responsibilities as tribal messi-
ahs, you can still wipe out all your past
mistakes by fulfilling your responsibili-
ties as national messiahs. This is where
you should become filial children and
patriots. Pray for your brothers and sis-
ters with the heart of loving the nations
of the world. Only in this way can you
appear before God’s royal presence with
the status of divine sons and daughters
following their Parents. (283-77, 1997.4.8)

If those people say with glaring eyes,
“You shouldn’t drink alcohol. Go to the
devil!” they are just a group of good-for-
nothings. They have no peace of mind. I
am weary of them. When I see them say-
ing, “That goes against the Bible, Mat-
thew chapter so-and-so. You’re going
to hell,” really, those rogues. If killing
someone could save a nation, then don’t
you think they would pass a law to free
the person who had killed for the sake of
saving the nation? Those good-for-noth-
ings! They have to think about that…. If
there is a pine tree the size of a fist with
its roots wedged in a crack in the gran-
ite along the mountain ridge, not even a
dog going by would stop to urinate on
that tree. He would only urinate if it has
shade. The dog is ashamed of urinating,
so it goes close to something when it uri-
nates. That’s better than people. It goes
to the shade to urinate. Why? Because
he is ashamed if he is watched by others.

It seems as though all the world’s Christians call Christ the bridegroom and assume they are the bride and can stand boldly in front of him. But this does not happen so easily. This does not happen through circumstances. It is only possible with an unchanging heart. Such a heart is not only one’s own heart; it has to be the historic heart of God as He strove for six thousand years, the heart that can transcend the present reality into the future. Heaven will only respond when we become the bride of such a heart, when we will live for Heaven, acknowledge the value of the subject and proclaim, “Oh, Lord, our bridegroom!”
We only treasure the words they left behind; we do not treasure those individuals who kept and live by the words. It is an historic sadness that people valued the promised, expected Messiah, but could not treasure him when he came as the embodiment of the word. The word seemed acceptable to them, but as a person, he was no different from any other person.
Unless we rethink such historical incidents, clear up our own sorrowful situations and elucidate the relationship of father and son which is supposed to be reestablished, neither hope, nor the Kingdom of Heaven, nor the ideal world will exist for us.
How can we explain the relationship between the Father and I when we are individuals who have received the blood lineage of sin? We cannot escape the bridle of sinful history. We live within the realm of sinfulness, unable to overcome it. Because we cannot accomplish these things even with effort, it is said that we are to believe in our hearts. This is the Gospel Christ passed on. He said to believe in our hearts, not through conditions.
Instead of being well-versed in the words of the sixty-six books of the Bible, you have to understand the heart of the Father behind it and what He wanted to reveal. You also have to understand the heart of the Father who did not want the Fall to take place. Instead of the bitterness due to the Fall, you have to understand the heart that desires to regain the lost Father and the heart that wants to restore humanity so that people no longer remain in such a situation. That will be your assignment. You have to transcend the gap if you wish to call God “Father” and become His sons and daughters.
God never told mankind to read the Bible at all times. Jesus did not even say to listen to his words all the time. He said to pray ceaselessly. During the three years of his public ministry, Jesus spoke many words. But until now, he has not said to live only by his words; he longed for us be concerned about his substantial self.
Because the world of the heart has no limits of distance, we can call even the greatest and most holy God “Father.” When He is called “Father” and sought after with a heart that is filled with the love between father and son, He would not be able to shun you. He would not say, “Your hands are not of Me, your body is not of Me, and your heart is not of Me.” When the heart is brought into oneness with Him, we become the Father’s extension. We are the extension and the Father’s second self. That is why the Bible said our body is a temple of God.
Then the question is: how do we go about unifying the heavenly nature of Jesus as he called God “Father” and our own nature? The unification of heart is more important than the question of similarities or differences of our natures. Thus, the words of Jesus, “In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you” (John 14:20) are precious words indeed.
The world of heart transcends time and space. Here, there cannot be such a word as revolution. That is why we can attend Jesus who passed away two thousand years ago as the Jesus of today. We can establish a relationship with him today. What should this relationship be based upon? It is not just words, and it is not just for a conceptual notion that Jesus carried the cross and died for me. It is possible only with heart.
