Faith and Life's Meaning

Every time I receive information from the outside, it impacts my Christian faith. Last night’s lecture at Zhejiang University was no different. Link to lecture

Maybe others have a point, maybe I have doubts about my faith, maybe my understanding of faith is limited. But until now, the information I’ve received only shows that apart from Christ, they can’t solve the question of life’s meaning. For me, the question is: “Where is my life headed?”

For almost two years, life has felt empty. I’ve tried doing many things, but I still can’t find meaning.

Almost every day is a search.

Maybe life sometimes requires some drifting along, some numbness.

But once you’re clear about life, living, and time, you’ll feel some force pushing you to find the meaning in every moment that passes. Day by day, year by year.

No matter how rebellious I am, how far I stray from faith, deep down, I believe I need faith.

How small we are, especially in the face of disaster.

Just a moment, maybe life’s gone tomorrow; even if I live long, it’s not more than a hundred years.

Is death the end of true life?

Some friends around me believe in reincarnation. But I believe in eternal life. Even without certainty about eternal life, I’d rather believe in it emotionally. Life everlasting. I’m me, unique me, living in the Creator’s history.

If there’s reincarnation, and this life’s search as a human leads to being a pig in the next? Quite laughable. What’s the point to life?
