Who is the most saintly of all the saints in history? [Jesus.] You said it is Jesus. What did Jesus say? Are you just saying this? Didn't we talk before about the definition of a true person? Then let's find out whether Jesus was a true person or not. Jesus said that God is his Father. Didn't he say that? [Yes.] He said true life is to become God's son, and Jesus was longing for the position of God's son, wasn't he? [Yes.] Also, he said "I am the only son of God." Because he is the only son of God, he can receive all of God's love, right? [He can receive everything.] Did he take the position to receive God's love or not? [Yes, he did.] Next, Jesus said, "God and I are one body," From this point, Jesus is not only in the position of the son of God, but he prepared himself internally and externally. Moreover, he said "I am the bridegroom, you are the bride." He connected himself with God, and with humankind in a relationship like that between bride and bridegroom. Also, he said "You are my brothers." Isn't that right? From this point, we have to understand what Jesus was wishing for. What did both God and mankind desire? It is the religion which shows the eternal standard of love to live forever centered on God that should be Christianity. Isn't that the reason why God wants to find man to fulfill this? It was also man's desire. There is no other desire above this. Jesus strove to establish his family but he was crucified without its fulfillment, leaving the concept of bride and bridegroom behind him. Therefore, when the Lord comes he will conduct the wedding banquet of the Lamb. This refers to the appearance of the ideal family in which God can dwell. Then the Lord can enter into the position of True Parents. In the position of True Parents, he has to establish true children and true brothers and sisters. Centered on this, true families, true tribes and a true people have to be established, and finally a new nation and new world have to emerge. Now we can make a clear conclusion. The Messiah has to come on earth to realize this. Do you understand? [Yes.] (39-344)
