예수님은 무서운 사상을 가졌다

메시아와 우리들

1972.04.23

일본 동경교회

종교인은 봉사를 하면서 모두를 기쁘게 한다. 그런 것이 선의 길인 것이다. 예수님은 무서운 사상을 가졌다. 로마의 병사에 대해서, 자기에게 창을 겨누어 자기를 죽이려는 원수에 대해서, 하나님에게 기도드린 그때가 천지의 모든 존재가 눈물을 흘리면서 내심으로부터 영원의 승리를 칭송할 수 있는 순간이었던 것이다. 굉장한 분이었다.

서른 살이 된 사람은 손을 들어 보라. 이 정도의 젊은 나이의 예수님, 자식도 없고 결혼한 일도 없는, 단지 도망 다니는 남자였다. 초라한 사람이었다. 어떤 부락을 방문해도 조반을 차려 주는 사람이 없었다. 그러므로 성서에도 있다. 무화과나무의 열매를 따서 먹으려고 했으나 열매가 없었다. 저주받아 말라 버리라고 하신 말씀대로 가엾은 생활을 한 사람이 예수님이다. 여우도 굴이 있고, 새에게도 둥지가 있는데, 자신에게는 아무것도 없다고 했다. 이처럼, 슬픈 정도가 아닌, 비참한 남자였던 것이다. 친구도 없을 뿐더러 어머니도 있을 까닭이 없다. 아무것도 없다. 공허하다. 하야시 시혜이(林子平)의 하이꾸(俳句)가 있지, 죽고 싶지도 않지만 살고 싶지도 않다. 그렇다고 해서 하야시 시혜이가 좋은가 하면 어처구니 없는 사나이다. 어딘가 다른 것이 있다.

예수님도 그렇게 죽어 갔다. 아무도 인정하지 않았다. 나라도 인정하지 않았다. 제자도 인정하지 않았다. 그러한 남자라면 어떻게 세계의 민주주의 국가권을 만든 중심적인 창시자가 될 수 있겠는가? 예수님이 그렇게 했겠는가. 하나님이 계시지 않았다면 절대로 되지 않는다. 그래서 성인은 후세에 역사적으로 칭송받을 수 있는 길을 지켜 나온다. 만민을 포용해서 세계권을 넓혀 온 것이 역사의 사실인 것이다.

4대문화권의 그 사상이, 종교가 현재의 문화권의 배후가 되어 있다. 민족이나 국가주의를 넘어서라. 일본인을 사랑하는 것보다 세계인을 사랑하라는 것이다. 그래서 통일사상은 여러분에게 가르친다. 선생님은 여러분들에게 가르친다. 통일교회보다 세계를 사랑하라. 통일교회의 문선생보다 세계를 사랑하라. 이것이 선생님의 가르침인 것이다. (55-48)

イエス様の思想

文鮮明先生御言選集55 ｐ55

　だから宗教人は奉仕をしながら、みんなを喜ばせる。そういうのが善の道である。イエス様は恐ろしい思想を持った。ローマの兵士に対して、自分をやりで刺し殺す怨讐に対して、神に祈ったその悠々たる姿には天地すべての存在が涙ぐみながら、内心の深い底から永遠の勝利をたたえる。その瞬間が、その時だったのである。素晴らしいお方である。

　33歳の年の人は手を挙げて！　このくらいの年のイエス様、子供も持たないし、結婚したこともない。これはもう逃げ回る男なんだよ。無価値の者だよ。どこの部落を訪問しても、朝御飯を出してくれる者がいない。だから聖書にも、「いちじくの木の実を取って食べようとしたら実がなかった。呪われて枯れてしまえ」という言葉があるように、かわいそうな生活をしたのがイエス様だ。「狐には洞穴があり、鳥には巣があり、自分には何もない」。これはもう悲しい。悲しいどころじゃない。悲惨な男だったんだよ。友もなければ親もあるわけじゃない。何もない。むなしい。林子平の俳句にあるだろう。「死にたくもなければ生きたくもない」。それかといって林子平がいいかというと、とんでもない男だよ。どこか違うんだよ。

　そういうふうにして死んでいった。誰も認めなかった、国も認めなかった、弟子も認めなかった男が、いかにして世界の民主主義国家圏をつくる創始者の主体を成したかというと、神がいたからである。神様がいなかったら絶対なり得ない。

　だから善人は、後世において歴史的にたたえるような道を保ちながら、その思想を継いで、歴史が過ぎれば過ぎるほど世界的万民を抱擁して、世界圏を広げてきた。これが歴史の事実である。四大文化圏の精神の思想が、宗教が現在の文化圏の背後になっている。

　民族とか国家主義を越え、日本人を愛するより世界人を愛せ！　だから統一思想はあんたたちに教える。先生はあんたたちに教える。統一教会を愛せということを教える。統一教会よりも世界を愛せ。統一教会の文先生よりも世界を愛せ。それが先生の教えである。

The Thought of Jesus

The Selected Speeches of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Volume 55

(Unofficial Translation)

             Religious people make other people happy by serving them. This is the way of goodness.  Jesus had an awesome thought system. Jesus prayed to God for the Roman soldiers, the enemies who tried to kill him by piercing their spears into his body.  All things in creation were moved to tears by such a victorious Jesus from the depth of their beings; and they praised his eternal victory. This moment was the time of such praises. He was and is so wonderful.

             Those who are thirty years old, please raise your hand!  Jesus was young, with no children, not even married. He was a man who always was on the run. He owned no valuables. Whatever villages he visited, no one even offered him breakfast.  The Bible says, “When he wanted to eat figs but the tree had no fruit. He cursed the fig tree and it withered away.” Jesus lived a miserable life. The Bible described, “A fox has a hole, a bird has a nest, but the son of man has no place to lay his head.”  It is really sad. But that word does not fully describe his sorrow; Jesus was truly a miserable man. He had no friend. Nor, did he have his parents behind him. He had nothing except only indescribable loneliness. Do you know a famous haiku[1] by Sihei Hayashi[2]? He expressed his feeling of loneliness (of not having his parents or family) in this haiku (and concluding to say), “Neither wants to die nor to live.” But, I am not saying that Hayashi was a good man. He was far from that. But, something was different about Jesus.

             Under such a miserable situation, Jesus went down the path of death. No one recognized him. No nation recognized him. Even his disciples did not realize who he was. Then, how did Jesus become the founding father of the worldwide democratic nations? It is because God was with him. Without God it would have, absolutely, never happened.

             Therefore, the righteous people followed the same path, which would endure throughout history and, which would be praised by later generations.  By passing on this thought to the next generations, they embraced more people in the world; and expanded to the world as history progressed. This is the historical fact. Spiritual thoughts and religions of the four major cultural spheres make up the background of all the cultures of the world today.

             Going beyond racism and nationalism, you must love citizens of the world more than Japanese citizens! The Unification Thought teaches you to do so. That is why I am teaching you—you must love the Unification Church.  Then, you must love the world more than the Unification Church. You must love the world more than Rev. Moon. This is my teaching.

[1] Haiku – A type of Japanese poem that was popularized in the 17th century.

[2] Sihei Hayashi (1738-1793) – He was a visionary who challenged the Tokugawa (Shogun) Government into opening its eyes to the world and for developing the naval power to protect the nation. He printed and distributed his booklet outlining his position to the public to persuade mass opinion. Subsequently, he was forced into house arrest until his death. During the seclusion, it is said that he wrote and shared the famous “Haiku” that True Father mentioned in this speech. He expressed his loneliness and his anti-government sentiment in his “last Haiku” before his death in isolation. It is roughly translated, “I don’t have my parents, children, or wife here, I don’t even have my printing block nor money but I don’t want to die.”
