The primary purpose of the course of restoration that we face today is meeting the Lord at the Second Advent. The mission of the Lord is restoration of the heart that was lost due to the Fall. Therefore, we have to receive him who has conquered the heart to give rise to the resurrection of our generation. (9-89) The saints and sages up to now have been extremely sorrowful in their mind and body. However, there has been none who felt the sorrow in their heart. The lamentation of the world of heart is still a realm just being pioneered. We are called upon to be the vanguard who have to pioneer this realm. Accordingly, we have to pass through the three doors of the plea of the body, urge of the mind, and impulse of the heart. You have been called by God to be the vanguard of history who can turn the history around. This is not just in words. Only after the door to the heart is opened can the bridegroom appear and can God also freely come and go. Therefore, what comes first is heart and the second is also heart. No matter what, we have to pass through the door of heart. Without setting the condition of having passed through the door of the heart, we cannot be resurrected. Jesus could not enter the Kingdom of Heaven also because he could not solve the question of the heart. So, what comes first is heart, and the thousandth or ten thousandth is also heart. Only when this door to the heart is opened can one enter the Kingdom of Heaven. When the door to the Kingdom of Heaven opens, only those people who do not have scars on their body, mind, and heart can enter. Especially those who do the work of Jesus on his behalf without being destroyed in body, mind, and heart are the brothers of Jesus. They can call Jesus older brother. This is a privilege among all privileges. The history of the past was mostly a history of battles to deprive others of the external--of land and material. However, this is the time to deprive people of the internal--of ideologies. Because this internal conflict has not come to a conclusion, the door to Heaven remains shut tightly. Only when something perfect emerges will this conflict be resolved and the door to the Kingdom of Heaven open. This is none other than the liberation of heart. Therefore, heaven and earth have to be liberated in respect to the realm of heart. heaven and earth at this moment are also lamenting in an attempt to build a relationship of heart. God created all creation through the relationship of heart. For this reason, even in a handful of grasses, heart is connected to it. However, due to the fall of man, this relationship has been severed. If there is someone who can connect the relationship of heart of Heaven and the relationship of heart of earth, then he can solve any problem in heaven and earth. (9-88) In today's celebration of Easter, heart is the problem. We have to become people who can bring out the original flavor in our practical life just the way that God desires. There has not been one person in Heaven or earth who claimed to have perfected resurrection, so the fact that in this peninsula where our people live resurrection is taking place merits our humble display of gratitude with our head bowed down. If there is someone who has met this standard, then he is someone that cannot be traded even for billions upon billions of dollars. Although it may seem that he has lost everything, he is actually someone who possesses everything, namely the son or daughter who returns happiness, joy, and fulfillment to the father who is coming with the sovereignty of heart held in his hands. So we have to engraft ourselves to the world of his heart. God is our father, and the Lord Savior is our bridegroom. Heaven taught us about longing and Godism and loyalty. From now on, we have to march forward with the hearts of the parent and child, husband and wife, and king and subject unify all isms. Under the name of the Father, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven; there will be no more no sorrowful vicissitudes. In the name of the bridegroom, there is nothing that one cannot yield to. When we become loyal to one king, there is no way that we won't become one. This is the final conclusion of the resurrection of heart. During the forty years of my life, I have longed for a chance to say these words. Now that I finally had a chance to say them, you have to keep in your hearts that it is an immeasurable honor for you to be able to listen to them. (8-91)
