A scientist came to the church seeking faith, eager to contribute his expertise to the nation.
After becoming a U.S. citizen, he experienced a crisis of national identity, repeatedly expressing his confusion and sense of loss in our conversation.
I told him: Your fingerprints are the earliest form of identification card God gave you at birth; worldly kingdoms are temporary, subject to change… only God’s Kingdom remains unchanged, “From everlasting to everlasting.”
Psalm 90:2: “Before the mountains came together, before you formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” His eternal Kingdom is our lifelong《Home》. We must find our identity, role, and responsibility in the eternal Kingdom within the church—the House of Christ.
After his baptism, he became a role model in his work and church service. Many Christians in North American immigrant churches have had similar experiences.
This is the background and reason behind my creation of this painting titled “A Unique ID”…
一位科學家來到教會「慕道」尋求信仰，渴望將自己的專業知識貢獻給國家。他成為美國公民後，在『國家認同』上產生危機，在我們的談話中，他反覆表達了自己的困惑和失落感。
我告訴他：你的「指紋」是上帝在你出生時賜予你─「最早的身份證 ID Card」；世上的國都是暫時的，是會改朝換代的…唯有上帝的國度「從亙古到永遠From everlasting to everlasting」是不會改變的。
詩篇 90:2「諸山未曾生出，地與世界你未曾造成，從亙古到永遠，祢是上帝。」
祂永存的《國度》是我們一生熱忠的《家》。我們必須在「教會－基督的家」中找到自己在「永恆國度中的身份、角色及職責」。
他受洗後，在職場工作及教會服事上都成為眾人的榜樣。許多北美移民教會的基督徒都有類似的經驗。
這就是我創作這幅名為《A Unique ID 獨一無二的身份》的畫作的背景和緣由…
