This is an excerpt
from the keynote address given by Hyun Jin Moon on his
speaking tour of Korea.
We have to build a
revolution of the heart, because if we want to change people
we have to begin by changing their soul. At the core of the
new paradigm of true leadership I am sharing is the message
of living for the sake of others. As a leader, as a central
person, you need to become someone whom God, True Parents,
and True Family can trust. This trust comes with enormous
grace and responsibility. You need to use the blessing of
heaven to positively influence those around you, not for
yourself. In other words, you need to become a True Abel.
Abel was blessed not for his sake but for Cain’s sake, and
for the sake of saving his family.
True Father has been
emphasizing how we have now entered a time when it is no
longer enough to simply believe in him and follow his
directions. After the coronation of God, we have the
responsibility to directly represent God and True Parents.
Therefore, we have to live for the sake of others as they
do.
The idea of Service for
Peace was built on the foundation of the Inheritance
and Development Tour. We have entered the Age of Second
Generation, the Settlement Age. We are building a whole new
world, yet the Second Generation don’t understand their
root. Inheritance means understanding the root of
history, the beginning of the movement and God’s framework
and time line. Development explores the possibilities
of the future.
We cannot be political
people who have many different constituents to please and
are bound to many masters. If you work for God’s providence,
you can only have one master. Did Moses and Noah of the Old
Testament Age care about what others thought of them, or did
they only think about God’s providence? Adam and Eve were to
be true sons and daughters of God. Were they? The Messiah is
the true son of God. A True Son goes the path of fulfilling
his father’s will and God’s will.
When God looks upon
humanity, does he like all the different cultures,
languages, nations, etc.? Does he like the fact that humans
separate themselves because of the color of their skin? No.
God wants to bring together the whole variety of children
into one harmonious union as one family. This is the Kingdom
of Heaven. And where does that Kingdom of Heaven begin? With
ideal families. Blessed Families are the foundation on which
the Kingdom of Heaven is built upon eternal, lasting
relationships.
People say belief in God
is ideal, but not pragmatic. But without recognizing God as
the universal parent, how can we talk about brotherhood?
There are many homeless people on the street. If you don’t
know the homeless people, would you stop? If it was your
friend, you might stop. If it was your brother the question
is no longer would you stop but when will you stop. The most
are deep and enduring relationships are in the context of
family.
We’ve entered an
inflection point in human history. From here human history
can branch out in many directions. Service for Peace
can become a mass world wide movement. Who’s going to get
that ball rolling? CARP is a youth movement so we have
power. If we create the conviction, we have power to move
this nation. If we keep living for the sake of others, they
will begin to change. We have power and we have the vision.
Centered on the Second Generation youth we can change
history!
