We must become the BaeDal race [BaeDal is the earliest name for the Korean people]. What does BaeDal mean? The BaeDal race is a delivery race. (laughter). [BaeDal is also the Korean word for "deliver"]
When you wait for your lover who is far away, who gives you news of your lover? Who delivers the letters from your lover? [The postman]. The postman delivers the letters. Are you pleased when you receive those letters? [Yes].
Have you ever treated the postman well? You have waited until your eyes popped out for the letter, and then if you received the letter from the postman, did you just return home without giving him some lunch, even though it is lunch time?
Postmen are pitiable. Although they deliver pleasant news to many people, nobody gives him a tip. Please raise your hand if you have ever treated a postman well just once. Nobody treats these poor people well.
God gave the Unification Church the responsibility to be a postman. Will you become the delivery men who bring pleasant news in every house?
"Today's weather is really full of good fortune," said the delivery man, bringing a letter to him.Is there a delivery man who comes up to the wide wooden floor and asks his owner to bring him a cup of cold water, saying, "Why are you sweating so much?" It means that the delivery man is looked down upon. Right?
The Korean race is the delivery man. Namely the Unification Church is the delivery man. We must be the delivery men of love. Let's be a delivery race giving God's love to the world. How wonderful this is! What kind of race? The BaeDal race.
And then, what does it mean to be the white-clad race? When we hold a funeral, we wear white clothes. (laughter). White clothes are used as a distinguishing mark.
Can something red or yellow stand out on a dark night? Only the color white can stand out. Only the color white can stand out in this dark world.
Thus, only the white-clad folk, who are centering on God's love, can be distinguishable in this dark world. I have been working on this centered on the Unification Church. (34-357) |
