Quotes about providence of restoration
From the speeches of Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han

Jesus was sorrowful representing God's painful shimjeong. Your sorrow should be more than three times as painful as Jesus'.

Jesus, the son of God, also fought and died on this earth by sacrificing his life on behalf of God's shimjeong, so we should also be the ones who testify and fight and die on behalf of Jesus' heart.
