“Our work is by no means merely to introduce a new set of dogmas, but to bring living souls to the living Christ—He alone can break the shackles of sin and restore the glorious image of God within humanity.”

Miss Fei · In the Shadow of the Pagoda

Scripture

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Reflection

Miss Fei’s insight resonates deeply with the teaching of 2 Corinthians, profoundly revealing the true essence of faith: it is never a set of cold dogmas or external moral constraints, but a genuine encounter between life and the living Lord. When the Holy Spirit works within our hearts and the shackles of sin are broken, we no longer anxiously strive to keep the law, but enjoy true freedom in Christ. When we stop hiding and open our hearts to behold the glory of the Lord, His life shines like light into the gloom, gradually restoring within us that original, glorious image. The power of faith lies precisely in this day-by-day contemplation and transformation, shaping the fragile and lowly soul from glory to glory.
