Father, why do you speak so long?

Everybody wants to take pictures (of famous basket ball players). (But what about) the Lord of the second advent, Jesus, who has returned? (People) pass by. Nobody knows....

So yesterday, at the event. True Parents up there, and all people left. So sad! Maybe we can feel, "Oh, Father, why do you speak so long? Please, speak just shorter! Or just read! That's better. Then people will stay."

But see, that is seeing True Parents with our physical eyes. Just like Peter did. Just like the 12 disciples did... They forgot that Jesus is the son of God...

I saw True Parents yesterday, just pouring out their heart, and everybody leaving... So what? True Parents are not here to be popular. They are not her to make people's ears happy. They are here as the son of God. And as the son of God they have the mission to save humanity.

Whether humanity listens or not, that is not the MOST important thing. The most important thing is the grace of God that we can receive through True Parents.

So yesterday I thought that Father is on the cross again. That's what I felt. He is on the cross. We should be up there, declaring True Parents as the Messiah and Lord of the Second Advent. But because We are not declaring, We are not telling people, We are too scared, ashamed, then True Parents by himself has to be up there and declare.

That's exactly what Jesus' disciples did to Jesus....

So as Unification Movement... we must remember once again why we are here. We are not here to just please people's ears. We are here to show that the son of God is here....

True Parents should not go the way of the cross. Jesus should not have gone the way of the cross. The nation should have accepted Jesus and served him as the King of Kings. They should not have killed him.

In the same way True Parents should not go the way of the cross. But again, True Parents always have to walk the way of the cross, hated, scorned... like this.
