Generally when I meet people, I tell them, "My father is not just a human being. He is the living God. He transcends human limitations. When we try to keep up with Father, we collapse." You cannot imagine how great the staff members attending Father are. They attend Father in rotation because Father transcends all human limits. Because Father can do that, if we don’t take good care of our own mind and body, in such situations we may misunderstand Father. There may be times when we resent him or even are tempted to deny him. As we saw in Luke 14:26, Jesus made extreme statements and demanded absolute love from all his disciples. Jesus didn’t do so in order to control his disciples, or to take advantage of them. He did so to save them (and all of us) and to sever their relationship with Satan. He did so to bring them into a relationship with God instead. This is Christ’s unique role. He has no recourse but to demand absolute love.

I say that I attend and follow Father, but we are actually laboring to do so. We attend Father all day long. Even though we may be scolded at certain times, our conscience demands that we do things for him joyfully, smile, and express our thanks. This is not just something we do once or twice, but over and over again. When we look at this fact, we are drawn to reflect on how much we really love God. We say that we love God, but Father said, ‘You must love me as much as I love God.’

Walking alongside Father, I continue to strive to be victorious in the training Father has given me. Nothing is more precious than accomplishing that, I feel. This is not only my personal training. We are also learning who Christ is. When the living substantial self of God, Christ, who has a physical body, walks on earth, we are learning what kind of person he is. We are observing this with our own eyes. We can experience this all together with Christ on earth. It is not easy. It is, however, important training for which we can be grateful.

Brothers and sisters, let us put the same heart and absolute love that Jesus demanded, that Christ demanded, and that True Parents demand of us into practice from today!

One day I had a vision, and Father’s face was shining like 10,000 suns. This vision was so brilliant, I could not approach it, so to speak. At the same time, I saw Father’s body in hell, in prison. I could see that his spirit was in hell. His body was in prison; his spirit was in hell. In hell, there were demons ripping souls apart. And Father was shouting at demons, ‘Take my body instead, let my children go.’ Then the demons would cast down the flesh that they were eating and devouring, and grab Father and split him apart. When I saw this vision I really had a spiritual breakthrough. I realized that Father went through the imprisonments, the six life and death tortures and tribulations- I realized that he willingly went the way of being tortured for me- instead of some kind of detached suffering. It was suffering for the sake of my own salvation, my family’s salvation, so that we could stand righteous before God. Because of that indemnity that Father had to pay, I was inspired to call it the seven deaths and resurrections. A Father’s love is a love that will not only lay their life down for their friends, but lay their life down again and again and again and again and again and again and again for their children.
