3) Andrew I feel acutely the responsibility of the twelve disciples First of all, I feel grateful that I was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, and I also feel it a great honor to take part in this holy education. Andrew feels too much pain in his heart,knowing that our Lord Jesus suffered innumerable hardships on the earth and that the Messiah at the Second Coming must come again for the fulfillment of God’s providence. It pains my heart even more to think of the pain our Lord Jesus must have felt over this, especially as the one responsible figure recorded in history. Jesus’effort to persuade and advise us to "attend the Messiah well from now on" made us feel more remorseful. In this seminar, we definitely came to realize that even though Jesus fulfilled his responsibility as the Messiah in spite of such difficult, antagonistic circumstances, we twelve failed to fulfill our responsibility as the disciples of the Messiah. With this lesson in mind, I earnestly wish that the disciples of the Messiah at the present time, even though I don’t know exactly how many there are, fulfill their responsibilities, never creating a history as painful as we did at the time of Jesus. Andrew earnestly requests, "We twelve disciples strongly determine and pledge that we, together with Jesus,will attend the Messiah at the Second Coming as the Parents of humanity."
