Are we as ignorant as the Jews at Jesus' time?

Kook Jin Nim spoke on 25 Feb 2007:

"The kingdom of heaven is a world without the Cain and Abel concept.

The problem is not the outside world (satanic world). We are the problem as we don't grasp God and True Parents' concept. Outside people respect our church but do not join our movement. Why? Because our movement is immature. We miss the essence of Divine Principle - just like the Jewish people missed the essence of their teaching."

---------------------
This is something to reflect upon. Are we "unificationist" getting too big-headed as we assured ourselves of our own salvation? Or are we suppose to alleviate the burden of our TP by growing up and start contributing in a substantial way? Well, it has been mentioned that once everyone can feel (really feel) the heart of God and TP, peace will come and the Kingdom instantaneously completed. Hence do we really understand God's heart? If not, how do we go about it?

My understanding from the DP on salvation is that there isn't such a thing as "own salvation". At the minimal, it may be "family level salvation" but it didn't stop here, and expands into nation, world and cosmos.
Put it this way, human salvation is God's concern, but shouldn't be ours. Our concerns are God's liberation, joy and happiness. This, however, it not seen in most "religious" people.
How many dare to be like Jesus, who did not concern about observing the Sabbath for his own "salvation", or non-condemnation, but worked to bring joy to God.
