Merry Christmas to You and Your Family!
Dear brothers and sisters,
We have just completed a wonderful weekend with True Mother in Las Vegas. Thank you again for everyone who came, for all those who prayed and supported in many other ways.
Over the course of three days, True Mother has taught us many new things about Jesus and about God’s heart. On several occasions she was in tears about how God had suffered waiting for His son to appear. She has been sharing some very deep insights into the real meaning of Christmas, the coming of True Parents and the fulfillment of God’s providence of restoration.
On Friday, December 19, 2014 she met with over 330 pastors of the American Clergy Leadership Conference and gave them a very powerful speech. She asked if they had ever wondered why after 2000 years we still do not know the real date of Jesus birth.
If Jesus was God’s only begotten son, how is it that no one knows? It means that throughout his lifetime, Jesus never had a birthday party. His mother, Mary, must never have shared with the disciples, or anyone else, about the birth, early life and development of Jesus. Later on, Mary did not make preparations for Jesus to be married. Therefore, he could not become the True Father or True Parent. That is why although people came to use the term “Only Begotten Son of God” they had no idea that God must have prepared his “Only Begotten Daughter of God” as well.
God kept His promise to send the Messiah, but people could not recognize him and he went the way of the cross. But God cannot restore His lineage through a crucified, single Messiah.
Today, we have the enormous blessing of understanding that True Parents have come to restore the failure and fall of Adam and Eve, fulfill the incomplete mission of Jesus, and become the Parents and Saviors of humankind.
In the days of Jesus, God had raised up the Roman Empire with the hope it would spread the word of Jesus to the world. Today, America must fulfill the same role.
When True Father and True Mother came to this country 40 years ago they came as a doctor to heal America’s broken families, and a firefighter to extinguish the flames of immorality. America did not understand and even sent True Father to Danbury. But as a parent, he never judged America and continued to love this country more than anyone.
Yesterday, True Mother shared even more deeply with almost 200 wonderful young men and women of the newly initiated Cranes Club from Korea, Japan, the USA and Europe.
After they introduced themselves to her one-by-one, she stood up and lovingly reminded them of their special, holy position in God’s providence. “I missed you so much,” she said. “As children born as the fruit of True Parent’s blessing, you are all like pure water, the ones who can fulfill the dream God has desired for the last 6,000 years”
God kept His promise to send Jesus to the people of Israel but they sadly did not recognize him. Today the world still does not recognize True Parents, but True Parents continue to love the world and work towards the fulfillment of God’s dispensation.
We are all being challenged and encouraged to fulfill the 2020 vision, and bring True Parents work in this country and around the world to victorious conclusion.
Let us celebrate Christmas this year with a renewed understanding of God’s hope for America and for humanity.
We hope that you and your families will be richly blessed and the 2015 will be a year of grace and happiness.
Thank you! Merry Christmas, and may God bless you and your families!

Thank you for consistently sharing the heart of True Mother with us, Dr. Kim, and helping us to recognize the essence of the message. Mother’s speech last week was incredibly moving to me. It hit me harder than ever how much Jesus suffered throughout his lifetime because people did not understand or support him. Yet he never gave up and he brought spiritual salvation. We will never give up, either, and we will bring the Blessing to America somehow. We have been educated by True Parents and because of them, we cannot fail! It’s hard sometimes to believe in ourselves, but thanks to God, TPs, and Jesus’ never giving up on us, we can keep going! Amen and Aju.

I agree Laura, Jesus’ faith and True Parent’s faith and their hope when things were absolutely hopeless is what keeps my faith strong and knowing that True Mother is strongly leading us with faith and hope gives me courage.
Thank you Dr. Kim and Dr. Balcomb for keeping us in touch with her and for your undying devotion to our True Parents. We need and appreciate brothers like you in these challenging times.
