What does our Unification Church do? What does the Unification Church seek to do? We seek to relieve the sorrow of Jesus. That's the goal. Jesus not only was not welcomed by the nation, and he was not only Now the age when we have to make a new beginning has come. What is precious about the Unification not welcomed by the people, he was not welcomed by his tribe, his family, or his brothers and sisters. Isn't that true? Look at the Gospel of John. At the Feast of the Tabernacle, Jesus' brothers wanted him to appear, and said, "Show yourself to the world." They caused Jesus great, unforgettable sorrow. (99-250)

From what point does our responsibility begin? It does not start with external things; it has to start with internal things. We must not say our responsibility is toward the external organization of our personality, but must straighten up the internal personality. Feeling heartbreaking pain which no one knows about, hiding it, shouldn't you become the people who permeate the environment, going to sleep and waking up in a situation which everyone can sympathize with? If someone comes home, just shows up and lives however he wishes... There are lots of disgusting people like that, aren't there?

Therefore the external responsibility is not the problem. The external responsibility just flows away. Today the Unification Church must relieve the sorrow of Jesus' deepest inner heart and relieve the sorrow of God's deepest inner heart. This is what Jesus is hoping for most in this age. The painful heart which his path of death caused God is what Jesus wants to relieve in this age through us, isn't it? So this internal responsibility is something that Jesus should support and Heaven should support and the apostles should support and Christianity should support and our historical ancestors should support. (57-221)

When God delivered Jesus to the place of death, how frustrated must He have been? God did not deliver Jesus to the world of death in order to relieve God's sorrow. It was in order to relieve the sorrow of humankind that He delivered Jesus to the world of death. The relief of God's sorrow did not come through man, in spite of it coming through God's son, because humankind betrayed and opposed God's son Jesus. It was in order to prepare another way to save humankind that God delivered Jesus in the position of a sacrifice to atone for the sins of the humankind.

Then who relieves the sorrow of God? Fallen humankind cannot do it. Jesus had to relieve it. The thing through which Jesus could relieve that sorrow was not the nation nor the world. Jesus had the responsibility to take out the basic root of Satan, which is connected to the body, and to establish the foundation for victory and stand before God proudly as a beloved son and give comfort to God. But Jesus was prevented from relieving the sorrow of God. So we should know that because of that, God has been preparing for the Second Coming. 2,000 years have passed.

Then what is the mission of our Unification Church? In Jesus' stead we must fulfill the responsibility of relieving the sorrow of God which Jesus could not do. Therefore, our mission is not to stand in the position of an offering to be sacrificed for humankind, but to relieve the sorrow of God which could not be relieved throughout the tragic history until now. After making God happy, we are to make humankind happy. Our mission is different from that of ordinary Christianity. Do you understand? [Yes.] (47-81)
