A native of interior China wanted to become a Christian but couldn’t understand how Christianity was superior to Confucianism and Buddhism.
One morning he came to the missionary in a happy mood saying, “I dreamed last night, and now I understand. I dreamed I had fallen into a deep pit where I lay helpless and despairing. Confucius came and said, ‘Let me give you advice, my friend; if you get out of your trouble, never get in again.’ Buddha came and said, ‘If you can climb up to where I can reach you, I will help you.’ Then Christ came. He climbed down into the pit and carried me out.” It takes the Savior of man to do that. Only a Savior would stoop so low as to save a sinful soul like yours and mine.
