Taking responsibility for another person’s sins becomes atonement
Jesus thought of the sins of all humankind as his own sins and was crucified and died on the cross on behalf of them. Of course, Jesus was a sinless guy.
It becomes atonement when you look at the faults of others and repent, “You resemble my fallen nature!” “Your sin is my sin.”
When I discover their sins, I also discover my own sins.
Jesus knew of all humankind’s sins as his own sins and died on the cross on their behalf.
That is the mission of the mediator between God and human beings.
Atonement happens only when (we) constantly forgive and forget the other person’s wrongdoings and sins.
When I take responsibility for the fault of the object partner, it becomes atonement. And to take responsibility for the fault of the object partner, you must have the heart of a parent and serve others with the body of a servant.
My voice has not come back, but I don’t have any serious symptoms. I am very okay. Don’t worry about me. I am taking medicine very well.
Today is the first Hyojeong Cheonbo event on the East Coast by Cheon Shim Won America and the new HJ Cheonbo USA branch at Belvedere.
Today I’d like to talk about “Noble Families of Cheon Il Guk” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
You all probably want to become part of the Cheon Il Guk royal family. However, we cannot have a king without a people. The tribes that you witness to will attend you as a tribal messiah. For this to happen, you must let people know about True Parents. How great would it be if each one of you could restore a nation? Such a family is a noble family. It is difficult to live for more than 100 years with our physical bodies since they are limited. However, our spiritual responsibility is eternal. Father had thought about it. There are more than 200 countries around the world. Imagine some people among you are able to restore one or two countries from among those countries, into blessed countries. Father developed the providence to a degree where such things have become possible. You must reflect on the kind of name you want to leave behind in history. (2015.01.11, Cheon Hwa Gung)
True Parents have developed the providence to a degree in which all nations can become God’s nations when you all complete your Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission.
But the important thing is that if Blessed Families do not complete their Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission, no nation can become the Cheon Il Guk that God blesses.
True Mother said that we can only become a noble family when all the blessed families complete their Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission and set the standards for restoring a nation.
That is why True Mother keeps on emphasizing the importance of the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission. I know that you are coming to (participate) in a very beautiful event. Let’s have strong determination to fulfill our Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission as well.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Principle of Creation 60 - The Development, Perfection, and Features of the Spirit Self
• All the sensibilities of a spirit are cultivated through the reciprocal relationship with the physical self during earthly life.
• Therefore, only when a person reaches perfection and is totally immersed in the love of God while on earth can he fully delight in the love of God as a spirit after his death.
• All the qualities of the spirit self are developed while it abides in the physical self: Sinful conduct during earthly life aggravates evil and ugliness in the spirit of a fallen person, while the redemption of sins granted during earthly life opens the way for his spirit to become good.
• This was the reason Jesus had to come to the earth in the flesh to save sinful humanity, We must lead a good life while we are on the earth.
• In Matthew 16:19, Jesus gave the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter, who remained on the earth, and in Matthew 18:18, he said, "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven," because the primary objective of the providence of restoration must be carried out on earth.
Yes, it must be carried out on earth.
Let’s study Father’s word.
Spiritual Experiences: Stage of Prophetic Dreams
<76-125> I’m telling you not to simply let these things pass you by. Compile these things together and collect data from a scientific standpoint to understand what direction they are trying to lead you to. What is the daily result of this during your lifetime? The result will absolutely come. You will gradually experience that the revelations you had in your dream – which you can hardly forget – will turn out true 100 percent in reality. You will have such experiences.
<76-125> People or things you connect with in the half-awake stage of your dream are going to appear in reality. They will be substantially be connected to your reality. If you are singing a song with someone in your dream, that song may actually be coming from someone who is singing right beside you, not your dream. These kinds of events will occur. This is a depiction of your heart entering a range where it can sympathize(resonate) on a spiritual dimension. There is something called a “tuning fork.” Tuning fork. This is referring to the place where you can sympathize. These things must be regarded with extreme preciousness
In order for us to grow our spirit self, we must be very spiritually sensitive. To be spiritually sensitive, you must always have a consistent life of prayer and devotion. The more we offer prayer and devotion, the more we will have more spiritual communication with God.
Also, check how the contents of your prayers and devotion appear in your dreams. (When) my prayers and devotion are public, and when I earnestly pray to heaven with them, check how God answers them through dreams. In a way, the life of faith can be seen as a life that receives answers from God.
If God has answered anything I have prayed about and asked for so far, make a list of God's answers to me.
For example, when I was like this, he answered in this way, when I was in the most difficult time, he answered in that way…Then, your prayer life will deepen, and you will have a lot of spiritual development and growth.
I encourage you every day to write down your appreciations. Similarly why don’t you make a list when you receive an answer from God. Then meditate again and remind (yourself) again how Heavenly Father helped you so far. Whenever you remind (yourself) of how God answered you in your prayer, it will always give you incredible power and strength. Then when you are tired and remind (yourself) of God’s answers, then you can go forward with confidence again.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Taking Responsibility for Another Person’s Sins Becomes Atonement
The main point here is taking responsibility for another person’s sins becomes atonement. It is very important. This is an amazing item by Father. Taking responsibility for another person’s sin becomes atonement. Wow!
1. The parents' position is the same as the Messiah’s position. Jesus had to stand as a mediator between God and fallen man. If Jesus only looked at fallen man horizontally from the perspective of God, who has suffered pain and sorrow for the past 6,000 years due to the fall of humankind, he would be truly angry and want to curse and judge humans. However, when looking at the pitiful people with the heart of a parent, Jesus had to apologize before God on their behalf with compassion and tears. This is atonement. If parents say they snap because of their children, they are not taking responsibility for their children's faults. However, parents must take responsibility for their children's faults. Looking at the faults of their children, they must repent, “You resemble my fallen nature!” They must have a heart to take responsibility and shed tears. “You are not like other people. You have inherited my fallen nature! Your sin is my sin.” Thinking like this is the way to atonement.
When Jesus came to this earth, even while looking at the earthly peoples’ constant disbelief, betrayal and sin, he did not judge them. The reason Jesus came to this earth was to act as a mediator between God and fallen man. Jesus had a mission to play the role of reconciliation between fallen humans and God.
So before judging fallen man, Jesus looked at them with pity and had compassion for them. He thought of their position first and sympathized with them, then showed signs and miracles. And Jesus spoke before God in their position where they had no choice but to commit sins and asked for God's mercy.
In that way, Jesus tried to take responsibility on behalf of fallen man, but in the end, he was crucified. Jesus thought of the sins of all humankind as his own sins and was crucified and died on the cross on behalf of them.
Of course, Jesus was a sinless guy, but as a parent “(My) children’s sin is my sin, and children’s faults are my faults.” That is the heart of the parent. This is amazing, right. The mission of the messiah is really amazing. He needs to have a parental heart. If he judges children’s faults and problems, evil(?) parents lose their position as well.
Where is my atonement made? First, you must repent before God, shed tears, and ask for forgiveness. So, we must experience the grace of forgiveness from God. The next important thing is that just as you were forgiven by God, when you see other people commit sins, you should consider their sins as your own and forgive them.
My atonement becomes atonement only when I try to take responsibility for the sins and faults of others as my own. The moment I think of others' faults as my own, my sins become atonement. Many do not know how to atone. If we do not take responsibility for the other person's faults and sins, but judge and criticize each other, we become each other’s enemies.
That is why parental heart is very important. If you don’t have a parental heart, you easily judge your own brothers and sisters, but when you have the heart of a parent, you really treat other brothers and sisters as your own children, with such a beautiful parental heart you try to forgive them all the time. Then you feel that their sin is really my sin. Their problems are my problems. You can only forgive somebody centering on the parental heart. When you forgive somebody... you will come back again. That’s why you need to have the heart of a parent.
It becomes atonement when you look at the faults of others and repent, “You resemble my fallen nature!” “Your sins and faults were inherited through me!” “Your sin is my sin.”
That is why when you see your children’s faults and fallen nature, you are the one who repents first. “My children exactly resemble my fallen nature. Heavenly Father, when I discover their sins, I also discover my own sins because I did not cleanse clearly beforehand. That is why all kinds of fallen nature appear to my children. Heavenly Mother, I truly feel so sorry.” You need to have that kind of heart. Then you become more humble and repentant and prayerful. If my prayer is like that and my repentance is very sincere, children immediately know “how sincere my parents are.”
Jesus knew of all humankind’s sins as his own sins and died on the cross on their behalf. Therefore, we also need to inherit Jesus’ method of atonement.
That is why I am so grateful to Jesus. You can curse and judge people, but he embraced all humankind’s sin. He even forgave his enemy. Wow! That is the mission of the mediator between God and human beings.
How can I become like Jesus? How can I become that kind of mediator? Can I treat my brothers and sisters’ sin as my own sin? Can I cry more and repent more? If we have that kind of heart and mindset that we learned from Jesus and True Parents, how much we can change our life, our family, our society, our church, our nation. Jesus set an incredible example. Can we imagine that?
(He) did not blame and judge. Rather he blamed himself. “I could not educate (them) well. I could not take care... (of them?) well.” He had this kind of very humble and beautiful attitude toward his children.
How to Atone for my Sins
2. When I see the sins and fallen nature of the other person and repent with tears saying that that their sin is my sin, my sin receives atonement. This way of atonement is impossible with a humanistic way and heart without having Heavenly Parent’s heart. Just as salt does not lose its salty taste when it enters any food or water, we must become parents who do not lose our taste no matter how difficult something is. It is because parents embrace their children with compassion and tears that they listen to and cooperate with their children without losing the taste of parental heart. Any foolish and unfilial child will taste the salty heart of their parents' compassion and tears. However, if a parent becomes nervous with their child or judges them, they will never be able to control their children. In that case, it is impossible to atone for the sins of the child.
When I see the sins and fallen nature of the other person and repent with tears saying that their sin is my sin, my sin receives atonement.
Being unable to accept the other person’s sins as my sins is proof that I am still a self-centered person and that I am still very arrogant.
An arrogant person never accepts others’ sins as their own. They put all sins on the other person. And they judge and hate the other person and wish them to be punished by God. Also, there are many complaints and dissatisfactions due to them
Without the heart of Heavenly Parent, the way of atonement is impossible with only humanistic methods and heart. In the history of mankind, only Jesus and True Parents have taught us how to make atonement.
Keep in mind the truth that atonement happens only when (we) constantly forgive and forget the other person’s wrongdoings and sins.
The Period of Building the Foundation of Faith and Foundation of Substance is the Period of Making Salt
3. In our faith course, the course of separation from Satan in the foundation of faith and foundation of substance can be seen as the process of making salt. It can be seen as a period of creating a salt mass (original nature) by trapping seawater and evaporating moisture (fallen nature). Therefore, your emotions and heart should harmonize with the heart of Logos, become people who have the will of the Word and know how to evoke your heart. We must remove all fallen nature and become people who know how to evoke only the heart centered on the Word by immersing ourselves in God’s heart. Therefore, during the period of laying the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance, we must repent with many tears in order to remove our fallen nature. With the strength of faith and hope and a heart of love, we should work hard on our responsibilities while cherishing our relationships with those around us and long for each other.
In our faith course, the course of separation from Satan in the foundation of faith and foundation of substance can be seen as the process of making salt.
Just like the process of making salt, we must become people who evaporate moisture, create salt masses, and carry the mission of salt wherever we go.
Just as salt gives out salty taste, we must become people who have the will of the Word and know how to evoke our hearts.
Therefore, in order to remove and evaporate our fallen nature during the period of building the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance, we need a scorching sun like God’s love.
Be the Messiah of Love, the Messiah of Atonement
4. We, who are building the foundation of faith and foundation of substance, must become the substance of longing and heart. No matter what kind of difficult situation we are in and responsible for, we conquer it with a salty taste and become a Messiah of love who atones people. We must become the Messiah. We should be able to have a parental heart and practice the life of a servant. However, if most people go out into the world without preparing through this course, they soon become secularized by the world. When you are secularized, you become pitiful. If people who are supposed to go out into the world with a salty taste do not taste salty, that leader or that person will become pitiful and left behind.
We, who are building the foundation of faith and foundation of substance, become the substance of longing and heart, and no matter what kind of difficult situation we are dispatched to and take responsible for, we conquer it with a salty taste.
Wherever we go, we have to become a Messiah of love who atones people.
Our responsibility is one of two things. It is to secularize the world(?) or be secularized by the world. Just as salt goes into water and gives it a salty taste, people who secularize the world change the world.
However, people who are secularized by the world are always controlled by reality. In the end, they all become just like everyone else in the world. When you are secularized, you become pitiful. Ultimately, they cannot become victors.
Even the Bible says that the path that secular people walk on is wide, but the path that Heaven’s people walk on is narrow. Are you chasing after people of the world on the wide road? Or are you following the narrow path like Jesus and True Parents?
My dear brothers and sisters, let me conclude today's sermon once again. It is the fact that when I take responsibility for the fault of the object partner, it becomes atonement. And to take responsibility for the fault of the object partner, you must have the heart of a parent. And to serve others with the body of a servant.
It is really incredible guidance. When I study this content and think about it a lot, I am so grateful that True Father has given us beautiful guidance about how to become the messiah of love, the messiah of atonement.
I am so sorry. I apologize. I am not showing a beautiful voice, but I hope it is getting better. Thank you very much for your prayer and jeongseong.♦
(Response to sharing) Father mentioned a few times. When Adam and Eve made a mistake, God regretted (creating them): “If I had not made Adam and Eve, they would not have gone through that kind of suffering.” Even though he is a perfect God, he feels this and blames himself. That is the heart of the parent. This is amazing. Jesus showed this kind of model. True Parents showed this model. That is why we need t o inherit that kind of model from Jesus and True Parents and somehow Heavenly Parent.♦
