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”…
一位科学家来到教会「慕道」寻求信仰，渴望将自己的专业知识贡献给国家。他成为美国公民后，在『国家认同』上产生危机，在我们的谈话中，他反复表达了自己的困惑和失落感。
我告诉他：你的「指纹」是上帝在你出生时赐予你─「最早的身份证 ID Card」；世上的国都是暂时的，是会改朝换代的…唯有上帝的国度「从亘古到永远From everlasting to everlasting」是不会改变的。
诗篇 90:2「诸山未曾生出，地与世界你未曾造成，从亘古到永远，祢是上帝。」
祂永存的《国度》是我们一生热忠的《家》。我们必须在「教会－基督的家」中找到自己在「永恒国度中的身份、角色及职责」。
他受洗后，在职场工作及教会服事上都成为众人的榜样。许多北美移民教会的基督徒都有类似的经验。
这就是我创作这幅名为《A Unique ID 独一无二的身份》的画作的背景和缘由…
