Sermon - Let Your Light Shine

This is a heartfelt and reflective sermon delivered on the occasion of the 66th True Children’s Day. The speaker emphasizes the inseparable relationship between True Parents and True Children, highlighting the reciprocal nature of their existence and roles. The sermon draws inspiration from various sources, including the teachings of Jesus Christ, contemporary spiritual figures, and True Mother Han’s current situation—detained for over two months. Central to the message is the call to let one’s light shine despite adversity and the importance of internal attitudes such as humility, righteousness, and perseverance in faith. The speaker reflects deeply on the significance of Jesus Christ’s life and mission, particularly the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes, illustrating how Jesus’ mission was not fulfilled due to a lack of a supportive environment and family foundation. This ties into the present-day responsibility of believers to embody those virtues and take active responsibility for the salvation of humanity, as demonstrated by True Mother Han’s selfless focus on humanity’s salvation rather than her own predicament. The sermon also touches on the concept of “jung” (offering and spiritual effort) reaching a boiling point where God can intervene, stressing the collective responsibility of believers to cultivate such fervor in their faith and actions. The speaker challenges listeners to examine their internal attitude and commitment to righteousness, humility, and support of True Mother. The sermon concludes with a prayer for True Mother Han’s release and a transformation in the hearts of believers towards a deeper understanding of their responsibilities. Highlights

Sunday School: Moral lesson of filial piety from the Korean folk tale "Shim Cheon"

The presentation explores the Confucian virtue of filial piety—respect, obedience, and care for parents, elders, and ancestors—as a foundational value in East Asian cultures. It draws parallels to religious teachings, such as the biblical commandment to honor one’s parents.

Key Concepts

• Filial Piety (효, Hyo): Emphasizes honoring parents and family, forming the bedrock of cultural and moral life.
• Hyo Jeong (Filial Heart): Introduced as a deeper expression of filial piety, where devotion goes beyond duty to a heartfelt desire for parents’ happiness. This concept is extended to a universal love for all people, viewing humanity as one family under God.

The Story of Shim Cheong

• Overview: Shim Cheong, a devoted daughter, sacrifices herself to restore her blind father’s sight. She sells herself as a sacrifice to the Sea-God to obtain the rice needed for her father’s offering, demonstrating ultimate filial devotion.
• Outcome: Her selflessness leads to her resurrection, becoming an empress, and her father’s blindness is healed—a reward for her devotion.

Emotional and Cultural Impact

• The story’s structure highlights the emotional depth of sacrifice, love, and hope. Shim Cheong’s actions evoke empathy and underscore the transformative power of filial piety.
• The tale is used to illustrate how such values enrich cultural heritage and provide enduring lessons on love, respect, and self-sacrifice within families.

Conclusion

The presentation encourages embracing filial piety as a living value, drawing inspiration from Shim Cheong’s story to foster deeper family bonds and cultural appreciation.
