If we fail, that is, if we fail to achieve our goals, we must know that we cannot escape the sorrow of the losers. Rather than being broken in the middle and grieved as a loser while going toward the purpose of carrying out God’s command, let’s imagine being a loser in advance. Let’s feel the sadness of the loser in advance.

Jesus also felt the sorrow of the loser at the last moment of the three-year symbiotic journey, the Mount of Gethsemane, and the last prayer. That’s why the crowd should not feel the consequences of losing, but feel it before going to the spot.

What about the sadness of losing? Let’s predict the loser’s position. First of all, if you lose and stand in a sad place, your enemies will be pleased. The enemy at this time is not only the enemy of this era, but the enemy of heaven, the enemy of mankind, the enemy of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who has violated history.

You are the one who rose up carrying the mission of this era to avenge this enemy. Therefore, if you have drawn the sword, you must annihilate the enemies. This is your mission.

So, even though it is your mission to win the glory of the winner, you should feel at this time what will happen if you are saddened by the loser. Aside from the glory of the winner, we should feel how miserable the sorrow of the loser is. And we have to work to defeat the enemies of the world. But you can’t do it alone.

Some members criticize and judge him for not being compatible with their family members. It cannot be done from a position that has yet to go to the place of victory in carrying out God’s overall operation. We still have to overcome the hardships before we reach the glory and victory.

If Adam and the Sun in the Garden of Eden had known for sure what the consequences of corruption were, they could not have been corrupted. If I had known that the results would be so disastrous and miserable, I would never have been corrupted. Likewise, at the beginning of the year 1968, the cornerstone of the second seven-year journey, we can never lose if we know what the sorrow of the loser is like. After that, we must establish a sense of purpose and pledge to solidify the purpose of victory.

If you imagine the sorrow of the defeated, how would you know that one day’s mistake with Adam would bring God to 6,000 years of grief, and that their descendants would resent their ancestors for thousands of years? If we had predicted this, we would never have been able to fall and die 10 million times.

Likewise, you should not only be happy to see a certain aspect of victory on the way to the Unification Church, but also know how wonderful the sorrow of the loser is as an impetus to promise victory in the midst of bitter adversity to win.

You know well that Noah’s 120 years of hard work has collapsed due to Ham’s mistake. Would you have dreamed that Abraham’s little mistake of not splitting the offering motivated him to sell Jesus to the cross, or that the Israelites were expelled from Canaan?

We need to know that it is today’s us who are in the same position as the scale of the past and present in history. (19-137~138)
