This Week on True Parents Way
Contributed by Dr. Tyler Hendricks
Our current blog series connects the dots between “I’d like a happy marriage” to “I need True Parents’ Blessing.” This week we make our way from Jesus and the Holy Spirit to our True Parents.
Jesus’ death was victorious, and the disciples’ united with him when he returned after his resurrection. This set the foundation for the advent of the Holy Spirit after his ascension. Who was the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit was the resurrected Jesus’ spiritual Bride. As such, she became one body with him. Their powerful marital love gave believers a new birth as adopted, or spiritual, children. Filled with the Holy Spirit, we engraft with Jesus spiritually. Exposition of Divine Principle explains this:
On the day of Pentecost, tongues of fire descended upon the saints, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. This event marked the clearing of the path [to the tree of life] …It opened the way for all humanity to approach Jesus, the tree of life, and be engrafted with him.
By understanding Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we can comprehend the Second Advent. Connecting the dots, we are led to True Father and True Mother.
Our video series on Hyo Jeong also continues with “The Fruit of Sincere Devotion.” I share how filial heart was the foundation for our Cheongpyeong campus to fulfill True Father’s prophecies.
And our Thursday podcast will cover making internal preparations to honor the birth of Jesus.
