The Old and the New

This panoramic shot was taken while I was riding on the Light Rail Transit (LRT). You can see the old building beside the newer building of the Telecom Malaysia.

Many people ask me why I change my name to Jonathan. The old name Johnson represents my old man and is the pronunciation of my Chinese name Junsheng (俊生) that means the handsome guy.

The new name represents 3 very noble characters in the Old Testament of the Bible. They are Jonathan, Jonah and Nathan. 3 in 1. May God grant to me their good characters.

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold; all things have become new." (II Corinthians 5:17) NKJV

“昨日种种，有如今日死；
明日种种，就如今日生。”

"Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him."
(Colossians 3:9-10)
