Ed Is On For Christ!!!
As many of us knew, Edison Chen, a famous Hongkong pop star and fashion icon, arrived in Singapore over the past few weeks under a commercial advertisement for Carls Junior.
His arrival was met with abhorrence and displeasure even though the Sex scandal made headlines around the world more than a year ago. Yes, he is still unforgivable in the eyes of many people for the actions he had done to some female celebrities.
But guess what, his life is never the same because of a divine and sacred encounter that happened to him. He accepted Jesus Christ as his savior through Jaeson Ma, the young pastor with many campus churches around the world (http://jaesonma.com), and became a Christian.
Edison Chen said in an recent interview here that he had realized what is important in life to him through his experiences this past year. It was not about having fame, having money. It is about the relationship he had with his family and friends and love in all aspects which is most valuable to him now. Since then, he stopped his showbiz career and started to do charity work to prove himself that he was never the same.
As far as i am concern, i hope the society never look at the past of what edison did. Everyone had their mistakes and setbacks and edison had his too. If the world is judging him by what he did in the past, then the yellow ribbon project that wants the society to give ex-convicts a second chance in life is a lie. Criminals and murderers will be disdained for life. However this is not true. Everyone is given a second chance and Edison deserved his too.
We should judge ourselves before we judge others.
Edison's mistakes were indeed a serious and pitiful one. We can never change what he did but we can at least put the issue aside for edison and the celebrities to move on. In fact, the paparazzi must stop the accusation for it to come to a complete stop. Let Bygones be Bygones.
As of now, the future is certain for Edison Chen as his repentance and regretfulness are definitely heard by Jesus and his sins are therefore taken away. This man is is never the same. A Renewed person he is today.
Ephesians 1:7 (NIV)
In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.
