“I am grateful to Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, for they have been my guides in life, leading me by the hand to Christ. Christ constitutes the unity of my life, allowing me to find a single center of gravity amidst a diverse cultural background.”

John C.H. Wu · Beyond East and West

Scripture

Galatians 3:24 So the law is our teacher who leads us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith.

Reflection

Mr. Wu Jingxiong's insight reminds us that God's grace is not only found in sacred temples, but also scattered among the fragments of human civilization's wisdom. Confucian benevolence and Daoist detachment once guided him like mentors, leading him to the source of all things. In today's fragmented world, we often feel disconnected amidst our multiple identities in the workplace, academia, and life. Only by returning to Christ as the "single center" can all our cultural accumulation and life experiences cease to be burdens of conflict, but be transformed into steps towards truth. Let faith be the glue that binds us together, enabling us to find the wholeness and harmony of life amidst its diversity.
