The Messiah was the true man that God, humankind and all creation had been waiting for. He came as the embodiment of love, to speak the truth in perfect unity with God's love. His every action was motivated by love. He led his life not in a conventional way, but in accordance with the standard of God's true love. He sought to save this world not by worldly methods and tactics, but centering on God's true love. This is what the Messiah was. Starting with such a person, the movement of true love could spread forth throughout the world. If this true individual married and formed a family, centered on this family a clan, tribe, nation and world could have been completed. This was the universal hope shared by God, huhumankind and all creation. Two thousand years ago Jesus came with this Messianic ideal, but unfortunately he couldnOt complete this mission. Even though he was the first true son of God, came to this world and initiated the movement of true love centered on God's love, when we consider that the Messianic mission was to form a family of true love upon the foundation of individual perfection, and then expand it to the tribe, nation and world, we cannot deny that it remained incomplete. Christians today who believe in Jesus may oppose this idea, but no one can deny the historical facts. Yes, Jesus Christ was unfortunate in that, even though he had attained individual perfection, he had no chance to establish the tradition of God's love on the family level by finding a woman to take the objective position in relation to him as subject. Therefore until today no single family has appeared centered on God's true love. The traditions of true conjugal love based on Messianic authority, true parental love recognized by God, and true children's love have never been established. If this kind of family had been established, then naturally, automatically, through the process of history centering on this family, vertically and horizontally, the tribe, nation and one world of God's love would have emerged. But since Jesus couldnOt establish the family tradition of God's true love, the central foundation which could please God, humankind and all creation, could not be established. Since the family centered on God's love was not established, the true clan, tribe, nation and world could not be established. (1981.5.10)
