I read this in a novel recently and wasn’t sure as to the truth behind it. After a bit of search-engine work I am satisfied that the Chinese ‘Alphabet’ does indeed reflect Atonement, as pictured by the Bible!
Righteousness is depicted, as you can see, by a sheep (or elsewhere described as a ‘lamb’) over ‘me’.
Biblically speaking, that is spot on. Righteousness is not something we can work towards. We will always fall flat on our faces (try reading the blog below about that!). Righteousness- acceptability before God’s throne- is only achieved through someone bearing our sins and taking our punishment. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of the world. He was killed on a cross so that his people can be forgiven and can be ‘righteous’.
